Spotted this heron in the evening, it seemed very calm and relaxed. Was able to get several exposures without disturbing it. Taken around 8pm.

monopos

Seems a bit soft in spots. Was NR used on this? :smile:

Nice pose and composition, John, but it looks like you were pushing the limits of this camera-there's an awful lot of noise in the image.

Nice composition, John, and I like the setting too. I suspect that the light was a bit low and you raised the exposure in post. This brought out the noise. iso 800 may be a little too high for this camera. With a bird that sits pretty still you probably could've lowered the iso and used an even slower shutter speed. :toast:
