Great Egret in Flight
Hi you'll,
A short while ago I told Lynn how beautiful Great Egrets were in flight, so as they say about a picture being worth a thousand words.

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 Jeff. I'm just trying to show that you can get flight shots with Nikon's 80-400VR lens. Of course I'm not showing the 89 prior attempts at flight shots from that day.

These shots remind me of Willie Mays.
He always made it look easy.
The reflections add the sense of the moment to each image.
Great shots, great egret.
Regards, Nicholas
Yes they are fun. Sometimes I get so caught up watching them I forget to press the shutter release.

Excellent shots of these, oh so tough to expose properly, WHITE waterfowl. They are both very nice, but I have to agree with the majority, that 2nd one is powerful. I like your post processing also, not too little, not too much :-)
I also agree that you're getting pretty darn good at this
If I could ever figure out how to post a pic here, you would see just how good your shots are relative to us mere mortals.
OT: isn't it nice to be able to post pics, no matter what camera you used, and have people comment on the pics, not on the equipment?

Hey Ian,
Thank you very much. I just wish I was a better photographer because the pics don't capture half of their beauty.

Thank you very much. These pics were kind of easy. I was driving to the Viera Wetlands where I do most of my shooting. 5 minutes from my house I passed a pond that was having a bird convention (wood storks, anhingas, egrets, and herons. I just parked and shot a 1 gig CF card.

Hey John,
I was going to give it to you over the age crack but I forgot what I was going to say.
Anyhow thanks for the nice comments about the pic anyhow.

Did you use a tripod on this shot?
Very pleasing!
Richard,
Glad you liked the shot and to answer your question: No I didn't use a tripod on this shot but I should have. It was kind of funny when I got this shot. I was heading out to the Viera Wetlands with Gale from the Nikon DSLR forum on DPR. Five minutes from my house we pass this pond in one of the developments near mine and we see a bird convention going on. There were wood storks, great egrets, snowy egrets, tri-color and great blue herons, an anhinga and a few ibis at the pond.
We did a quick u-turn, parked the car on the grass, jumper out and started shooting. I didn't want to miss the shots so I shot hand-held. Thank Nikon for that VR glass. This shot was at ISO 200 with a shutter speed of 1/750 sec at f/8 and a focal length of 310mm.

Its good that you will be coming down because I 've noticed that your pics have been getting a tad stale lately. I was afraid that was going to happen when I left NYC and wouldn't be around to guide you any longer.
Not to worry though. I'm sure that I will be able to get you back on track again. It won't be easy but I'll give it a shot.

I'd say you were lucky to get this handheld...in a quick response situation
such as this. Sometimes you just have to press the button and see what happens!
