photoartflightGreat Egret In Trees
We were coming back home from the grocery store and were going through the gated entrance for our condo community. I noticed this Great Egret in the trees above the small pond by our back entrance. I had my Canon 7D with me so after I entered through the gate I parked and walked back through the gate to take a few images of the Egret. The Featured Image was taken with a 300mm lens with a 1.4X teleconverter. I wanted to get a wider view to show more of the surrounding scene so I shot a 5 image Panorama to get what I wanted for the pano. I first shot top left, then top right, then bottom left, then bottom right. I finished my series by shooting the center just to make sure I had enough images for the pano and everything lines up correctly. I have found that having that center image helps the blending of the image.

Fine image, Reed.
Thanks Steve! The older I get the less I want to carry around equipment wise! So I tend to shoot a lot of multi-image panoramas! Plus it gives me something to work on!

The willow offers a wonderful texture. Nice one!
Thanks so much Eliza! Sometimes it is interesting to see what you can find to photograph in your own neighborhood!
Really like the rich green coloring in this shot which really makes the egret pop. Throwing in some Geese as a bonus ha!
Thanks so much! I originally was only going to show the Egret! But then I thought I would throw in the Egret’s Canada Geese friends that were down below so I shot 5 images for a panorama to include the Geese below!
