Originally posted by Jimbo Mike, my favorite bird to photograph. I even took some today. Well done on a difficult exposure. Cheers JIM
Thanks Jim,
I took a couple of more mundane shots of him at the beginning, but as still as he was I figured I'd go for something a bit different. It was amazing how still he was. Wish I could get some of my models to hold poses so well... LOL
Originally posted by Tamia A great shot, Mike, with the heron standing still long enough to remain sharp. I like both, with the nod going to the first by a tad, and agree the second one should be lightened a bit.
Thanks Tamia, I think the secret was that he was totally unaware of me. I was a good 40-50' above him and was behind a rock wall and wooden rail so all that was showing was the camera and my head.
