Three Flamingos Flying

A single-image capture of three flamingos flying over Lake Elmentaita, Kenya. Their perfect spacing and low pass over the other birds seemed too good to be true. The soft misty morning made for the perfect conditions to capture the colors of the scene, while a 1/8000 shutter speed froze the action.

About Artist

Laura Merz

From a young age, I wanted to save the rainforest, conserve the wild, and protect the planet. As I an adult, I have lived around the world falling more in love with nature, and gradually fell into a career in photography. It became clear that this could be my medium to invoke change, to remind people of what we so desperately need to protect and I regularly donate my work and profits to conservation initiatives.
