I took this picture today at a place 20 minutes from my home. It was a cloudy day and I wanted to try out the things I learned at the Chris Dodds workshop that I attended At Bonaventure Island. The proper use of my handheld light meter (sorry Artie), the manual controls of my flash and post processing in Photoshop.

Nice portrait of this guy John. The version with the OOF grass is nice--the only I could add is since herons often stand still for long periods of time was to have photographed a few shots wide open at f/4.
