About
Taken just a few hours ago. I decided to brave the cold and wind and go find my Heron. I am so glad I did, he was standing perfectly out on a point and all bundled up. I hope you enjoy. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.
Great shot Michael and the poor wee beastie looks all hunched up to ward off the cold. The details are excellent and your pof and dof spot on. The tones are perfect and look totally natural. Well done to you my dear friend for yet another wonderful wildlife study.
In amongst your recent comments you observed that I have a 50D and oh how I wished I could afford a 5D. Ah Michael, Canon have a different pricing policy over here as opposed to America and a 5D is very close to $4,500 or about $4,000 if there is a special offer on the go. My poor old slender income cannot stretct to that and I have to say I have become accustomed to the APS 1.6 ratio. 15 million mega pixals will probably keep me out of trouble . Just before I bought the new body I had to replace my elderly computer and I made sure that the specifications of the new one would cope with large files of raw and tif images. I envy you Michael in some respects because as a young man you are going to participate in so many more changes to digital photography whereas I am now using what will probably be my very last camera outfit, boohoo.
All the very best to you my dear friend, treat yourself to 5D and let's see you rock 'n' roll with it. Take care...Ray
A perfect Heron capture...perfect in every way!Great details,nice colors and very well presented!It was worth to go outside even when it was very cold:)) Best to you, Nicole
Pretty nice Michael, for such a heron which is hard to capture. Detail looks great. The crop and the overall colours are very complimentary and make the total shot. Well done Wildlife and Insects,and thanks for your kind comment,be well,riny
