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!"

    Thats a Great Egret
    Hi Lynn,

    Good capture there. They are hard to shoot w/o blowing out the details in the feathers. The Great Egret has a body length of 37-41 inches and a wing span of 55 inches. It is a thrill to see them take off and fly.

    I have to get up in the AM to catch the light. Then I go home and nap until the sweet light of the late afternoon. Its rough being a photographer. :cry
