I made another trip to the fish hatchery a couple of hours from my house. There was heavy fog that didn't lift until around noon. Once the fog lifted I discovered 3 Horned Grebes...the first that I had ever seen. I spent the better part of the day with them. I am fascinated with grebes and have found that they have a definite pattern in working a lake. The problem is that they can cover a lot of ground with each dive and it's hard to judge where they will come up. It was impossible to get all 3 in one picture and was hard to isolate just one. I shot this from my car as that's about the only way I've been able to get them.
This one came up....almost under my nose and the only time that they really got close. I just cropped a little from the top and would have preferred having more room at the bottom but I'll take it. It was also taken right after noon....not the best time to shoot but it was all that I could do. Canon 1D, 500mmL IS, 2X TC, 550EX (shot from car) ISO 320, ss 1/800, f/14, EV -2/3, flash -2 Photoshop - slight crop from the top, USM, levels Lana Hays
