I found a grey heron today. I haven't photographed one before. Unfortunately it hadn't read harry's thread about light and was backlit.

    We call them Great Blue Herons in the States. Excellent shot too. He probably did read my thread. I told you that birds are evil creatures. After eating and procreation comes making life miserable for photographers on their daily to-do list. :D

    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!"

    Thanks Harry, Jeff & Ben. It made a nice change from vicious, smelly swans

    Great shot Shay - excellent lighting thumb.gif.

    Just one word of caution though, be careful not to cut his feet off - even though you can't see them.

    regards

    If I ever get close enough I will heed your advice Mikethumb.gif , I used a 400 5.6 and it wasn't long enough.
