Mothers love

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

Hi All,

I went to Rookery at Smith Oaks Sanctuary , High Island, TX yesterday. This Rockery is a bird Sanctuary in which Great Egrets were nesting along with Snow Egrets, Cormorants and Spoon Bills.

I went specifically to watch, observe and Capture pictures of New Born Babies with their Mother. I was able to capture this moment in which 3 baby Egrets were playing with each other watched closely by their mother. This was shot morning around 10.40 AM on a cloudy day.

Nikon D7100
Sigma 150-600 f/5 -6.3 Sport
ISO 1250
f/8
1/800 sec

This was my first shooting experience in manual mode. I read Working in Manual mode post by Arthur Morris and then decided to shoot in Manual Mode.

This is my first post in BirdPhotographer Forums. Let me know if I missed something.

I would love to know your thoughts on this shot so that I can improve my photography. Any kind of feedback is really appreciated.



Thanks
Krishna

Krishna, no worries as I, it happens to us all when venturing into something new. If you further need help just shout, the Boys & Girls (Mods) are really good and remember - there is NEVER a silly or daft question, just ask it. :bg3:

Thank you for the Feedback. This was one of the shots which I took at rockery. There are some shots which are better than this one. I am still going though all my shots and will post them.
