Another crummy day for taking photos.
Only one that turned out OK.

    Outstanding Dave. ylsuper.gif You froze the action of the take off perfectly. I love the water action in the shot. You handled a very difficult exposure well.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Not yet. That lens should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. This shot was taken
    with the Sigma 80-400.
    But I would like to thank you again for your help on getting that lens.

    Harry, These darn birds are so skittish around here it's unreal.

    I had just gotten out of the car and set-up the camera on the monopod.
    I was going to snap a couple of him while he was standing there. I had just
    gotten a focus lock when he took off. I got one other pic of him in flight,
    but it's blurry.

    I think if I would have had the EV at -1/3 the shot would have been better.
    The good news is, I'm starting to realize what I need to do to make the
    pic better. You and Andy have a big part in that. So if I haven't said it
    before, Thank you for all your help and comments. I appreciate it.

    I agree about the EV setting. You have a small bit of blow out on the left wing. Mastering the EV settings for subjects like an egret is the key to getting better shots.
