The Little Egret.

[Bevb]

There's absolutely nothing happening here re wildlife as the weather has been very grim, heavy rain for the past 3 weeks, well a break in the weather today took me and the dogs down to the river for a long needed walk and here i found the Egret again.
Sorry for dull sky but thats the weather, and the flight of these birds isnt over exciting as they are slow and methodical.
All images taken manually.

Wow Bev, that first shot is absolutely beautiful! I love the egrets pose, color of the image, and lighting, nice shot!

nice. I like the shot looking through the weeds. I'm sure you noticed, but you got some bunnies!

[Bevb]

Thanks Copy, and payn817, but bunnies? you have me worried now, i have scanned these pictures over and over and i see no bunnies!.

[Loupey]

I believe Payn is referring to "dust bunnies"

Excellent job holding the details in the whites. I think you've got this manual thing all figured out :thumbsup: I hope you see the benefits now that you've gone through the whole exercise!

[Bevb]

Thanks Loupey, i actually have'nt used anything else but manual, and its starting to get easier and easier, thanks for giving me the drive to try it.

Aaah! how embarrassing, god and iv only just got new glasses!! i think it could be little tiny specs of water, as i had to crawl very low through the water outlet beds to get to the egret, but i have just sensor cleaned my camera and all lenses.
Bunnies, well thats something iv learnt, and theres me looking at the image thinking, where are these damn rabbits payne can see!

How you get so many blur free flight shot`s always amazes me Bev , nice Captures as always

[Bevb]

Thanks Knight, it amazes me sometimes, as i never think my hands are that steady, but i do make sure that i do panning practice regularly and not always on birds, sometimes dogs, people, cars etc and i think that that has helped alot.
