Taking flight.
Lens: Bigma 50-500 OS HSM Camera: K3 Photo Location: Middleville, Michigan ISO: 500 Shutter Speed: 1/1500s Aperture: F10

I took the day off work last Friday to spend a day with my camera. Came along this Great Egret and decided I was not leaving until he took off. I set a goal for myself to capture a bird in flight with the Bigma.

You definitely succeeded in accomplishing your goal! I love how the water dripping off the claws are clearly visible. Great shots!

Thankyou, I never noticed the water dripping until post. It surprised me that it actually showed up.
