Canon 1D mk iv
400mm f/5.6 + 1.4x TC
1/2500 sec
f/8
ISO 1600
Manual exposure
50% crop
This is the 1st time I've photographed Herons. Next time I'll aim to reduce my shutter speed to around 1/1000 sec as they don't fly very fast with a corresponding drop in ISO to about 800 (it was an overcast day so I needed a reasonably high ISO). This shot was hand held and I think for the distance involved a tripod would have improved the shot. Critique welcome.
