A Cape Wagtail feeds between washed up kelp on Kommetjie beach.

At low tide the beach becomes a hive of activity with many species of bird feeding in the rotting kelp.

Photo Tip:

Low angles place the subject in their environment. A shallow depth of field will isolate the subject from the background. This is important if you have a very "busy" background.
