Low Flying Heron

Gallery: AvianPosted May 11, 201150 views4 comments

May 1st 2011, while at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the eastern shore of Maryland, I got this photo of a beautiful heron flying low to the water. They are so graceful in the air. I just love trying to capture that with the photos I take.

Focal Length 500
F Stop 6.3
Exposure 1/2,000

I welcome all comments and critique.

Nicely captured, the clearly visible head and eye make it work despite the heron angling away from the camera. I might move him more to the right in the frame, and eliminate the vertical reflection in the UR.

I agree with Terry. Also, I would try a little more brightness to see it you can bring out a little more detail in the dark areas, if it doesn't create too much noise.

Hi Terry, thank you for your comment and suggestion. I will try that and see how it looks.
