Great Egret with such nice light!

[Nancy A Elwood]

Hi all. This past weekend at Viera there was such nice light. This great egret flew by and I could not resist. Taken with the D300 and Nikon 500 f/4. f/7.1, 1/3200, iso 640, with the prototype long lens support my husband has developed. More details on that device on my blog, www.naturesportal.blogspot.com (http://www.naturesportal.blogspot.com). C&C always welcomed:).

Excellent detail! A couple of hot spots on my laptop monitor, but otherwise very nice. Good luck with the new support!

Sweet light indeed. I also see the spots, it must be the light temperature. Cooling it a bit or using the recovery feature on your conversion should take care of it.
Hope to see you soon :)

Nice exposure Nancy, with great detail. I checked out the long lens support. What a creative solution..coming from someone who hand holds the 500mm :)

Very beautiful. I liked the wing position a lot. Most times I see great egrets flying with slightly open beaks. wonder why?

The support does look very ineresting indeed.
