OPPOSITE: ROSEATE SPOONBILLS SOUTH PADRE ISLAND BIRDING CENTER, TEXAS, USA BY DANNY WATERMAN, AGE 18 “I had the camera set up on a mud-flat next to a cove where there were a lot of wading birds, The spoonbills were pretty far away at the time. After a while, they started to take flight and I knew it would be a great opportunity to capture their
spread wings and unusual bills.” Canon EOS 7D with 500mm lens; 1.4x tele- converter; 1/1000 sec at ƒ/5.6; ISO 200; tripod.
SEEDS MCALLEN, TEXAS, USA BY JAYLEEN BEEDLE, AGE 18 “I love the color combination in this photograph. I believe it is the simplicity that makes it engaging. Macro workshops are always a fun part of the NANPA program.” Canon EOS 7D with 100mm lens; 1/13 sec at ƒ/16; ISO 125; tripod.
