This hungry fellow was patiently waiting for his food until he selected what he wanted at Shark Valley, Florida at Everglades National Park. He was painted with a Nikon D70s, using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens. and a Nikkor 1.7 T/C.

Image solution:
focal length @ 765mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 320 / 1/2000sec. - f/5.6 / white balance @ auto / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB /lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -1.3EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +1 degree / support platform - no tripod, hand held /

Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:

Great action capture Gus. You pushed the shutter at just the right time and got the fish and the water droplets at 1/3200 s.

You are lethal with the herons !!! Great timing and action !! All you could have wished for is having that fish looking the other way !!! :)

Hi Gus - like it a lot - love the eyes on these guys --- agree about the fish but you gotta be luckier to get the fish HA right as well. :)
