Out of the Box Image of the Week Clemens Vanderwerf for the week ending Feb 24th, 2012 - Great Blue Heron leg blur
Congratulations Clemens!!!
This image was created in the morning at 9;55am at Blind Pass, Sanibel Island, Florida during the SW Florida IPT of Arthur Morris. A Great Blue Heron was standing near the shore line eagerly awaiting a fish being thrown in his direction by a local fisherman. After the usual head shots, my eye was directed to the waves flushing water up the beach and flowing past the GBH's leg. When it reached it highest point the water resided back to sea. I went to a slow shutter speed and started experimenting with different compositions to create a sharp image of the leg with the texture and the motion of the flowing water.
This image was created with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens at 800mm, and the EOS-1DMIV. ISO 50. Evaluative metering: 1/15 sec. at f/22 set manually.
All comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
