I have shot 100's of photo's of these Herons and they still amaze me. JIM

Hey Jim, I have shot 100's too and what amazes me is how close you get so a measly 200mm lens gets a nice big shot. Great color in that one. Looks like a cloudy day yet a very warm cast. I really like it.

Wow Jim...great Heron shot!

Very nice shot Jim!

Brilliant shot Jim. Is this handheld, or off a tripod? Herons are not twitchy, but still very sharp for 200mm at 1/125s

Great image Jim - sharp and interesting!

Cheers

I really love the look of the "texture" of the birds wings in this shot, buddy. I assume you shot this with your Sigma 70-20 ???

Thanks Jer .Yes, it was my trusty Sigma 70-200 2.8. I haven't pullt it out much lately as if have been doing mostly landscape work. It was great to get out and the weather was just right for Heron shooting. JIM
