    Default Snowy Egret Display

    Taken at the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, Newport Beach, CA.

    The light was tricky on this one: strong sunlight plus reflections from the water, but also shadows from some trees and the bluffs behind me. Couldn't figure out how to deal with the greyish areas on the bird without blowing out some of the whites, so the image as posted is a bit of a compromise as far as exposure is concerned.

    Canon 7D and the 400mm f/5.6 lens. Manual; f/6.3; 1/2000sec; ISO 200.

    Thanks for looking,

    John

    John, this is such a beautiful exposure. Love those reflection lines and the details in the whites. Great job.
    I just find the bird too centered and wish for more room below and to the right.
