Pelican photography For The Paraplegic, Or In My Case Nearly So.

Pelican photography For The paraplegic, Or In My Case Nearly So.

Forgive my not so subtle self-deprecation, but my orthopedic did say I should be in a wheelchair by now, and sometimes I wish I had one, but truthfully, even if one is in a wheelchair, photographing pelicans should be quite doable; they are very big, friendly, and in some places abundant.

Though I was in Miami for a wedding, I did visit the sunrise every day. That afforded me an opportunity to enjoy pelicans going out for breakfast; though it would have been great to see them on a pier, one must play the hand the deck deals.
I recommend a lens between 200mm and 500mm, and as 'fast' as you can afford; mine is a Nikkor 70-200mm F-2.8 lens, which I use most of the time in low sunrise light, otherwise blurring is likely; one can compensate with a higher ISO, but that will lead to more 'noise' in your final photographs.
Let me know if this has been at all helpful.
