Fort DeSoto late evening sun in August.
D70 Nikon, 600mm lens, ISO 200, F/4.5 at 1/400 I was wading across a channel when a reddish egret landed near me and then another egret landed near him. He pulled back his head and I snapped this shot. I had just purchased the 600mm lens and was carrying it on a Gitzo 1548. I wasn't accustomed to the rig and was creating a huge blood blister on the palm of my left hand while I was taking this shot. One of the legs of the tripod had slipped between the other two legs and as I tried to straighten everything while getting this shot I caught the skin of my hand in the hinge. Sorry the bird doesn't have breeding plumage. I have hundreds of others that do have those spectacular colors however and I'll post some of those in the future. Thanks for looking, Van |
