THAT looks very familiar. Nice shot. Anytime you get them doing something with wings spread and not blown out you have a good Egret shot.

That's a great shot Jer, well done! Exposure is spot on too, which I'm sure is no mean feat on such a bird.

opiet70 · 10-28-2010, 07:43 PM

I love your shot!

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 10-28-2010, 08:42 PM

Appreciate it. I use the spot meter for this sort of thing.

Hey, thanks, Jason. As I mentioned above, I use a spot meter for these white egrets - seems to work pretty well.

Hey thanks, Ivan - I should've thought of using "stretch" in the title.

Thanks much, my friend. I wasn't on the boat, but just took a short drive across town to the Texas Sea Center yesterday afternoon. It makes for I nice "photographic" get away when you haven't a lot of time.

I wonder if he was able to keep his balance.

Great shot.
