I was leaving the Celery Farm Natural Area when I saw this Great Blue Heron on a fallen tree in the water. He had interesting backlight from the sun rising behind him, highlighting his head and beak, so I tried a few shots.
Canon EOS 1D MkIV, Canon 400mm f/4 DO lens, Canon 1.4X Series III Teleconverter, f/8, 1/80 sec, -0.33 exposure compensation, ISO 400, handheld.
Awesome capture, very simpler to our grey herons here in UK, one of my favourite birds, love the details, well done !
Thanks! They are one of my favorites also and are fun to photograph.
Superb photos!
Thanks! They are great photo subjects – Large & Close!
