Noel - Ruffled Reddish Egret Ft. Desoto
Hi all,
I'm posting this image of a Reddish Egret at Ft. Desoto on this past Friday morning. I was practicing trying to stay on Sun angle to the subject, but alas only get a few fleeting instances as they walk past. For this particular bird, it looks like I was in manual mode with 1/1600 sec, ƒ/7.1 (because this bird is slightly larger and I was thinking would need a bit more DOF), and ISO 200 (just because the Sun had started to get up higher).
This was another of my "Not Nailing the Exposure" shots. I think it needed about a 1.4 increase in the exposure. There was no baiting or calling. I just sit in what I think is a great location and sort of let them come to me.
Overall, I'm always excited to see a Reddish exhibit this common behavior, but that alone does not always make a great picture. I need to improve catching this behavior in my frames.
I welcome your comments.
