Long Range Egret

This one was at about max range for what I could shoot and get any kind of decent crop out of it. The light was poor (in fact, it was between showers that I got this one) and the sky heavilly overcast. I intend to go back to this location and shoot some more when the weather improves since the bird has settled into the area for a while.


Some pp on that one. The way the wind swept the feathers made it seem appropriate to give it a black and white treatment.



Here, lunch was had. Not a good place to be a fish...

I appear to have had very minor camera shake. Next time, I will bring the tripod!

I like that you went with b&w for the first image, Chris. I would have preferred some more of the environment to the left of the egret.

The second image was not camera shake since the tree, and roots are sharp. Your camera just chose not to focus on the egret. You might try using a single auto focus point for these kinds of shots!
