White Morph Reddish Egret

[Harold Davis]

This one I must dedicate to all the moderators here in ETL. Al, for all the leadership, guidance, and support; Gus, for that "can do" attitude and all the support; and Lance, for giving me the courage to try 3D tracking AF on my D300. it sure helped when I was tired!!! And to all for being the most awesome friends on the planet!!!!

I found this guy yesterday afternoon at Bunche Beach between Ft Meyers and Sanibel Island. My first of the species and a treat for sure!

D300, Bigma at 320mm, f/6.3, 1/3200s, ISO 400, -1.0EV, flash fill with better beamer set at -1.0EV (negligible I know)

Lovely Harold. Beautiful colours and nice soft quality to the light. Might just clone out the tracks closest to the bottom of the frame. Print material!

hi Harold,
Nice image, I do agree with Alfred about taking a little off the bottom.
By the way, next time you come over to the west coast, let me know so we can get together.
