Some favorites from 2010 » Wingspan

Great Egret

This Great Egret was showing off his wingspan at High Island rookery. Taken just after sunrise with back lighting on the wings. Used spot metering to get a good exposure on the white bird which darkened the background. Taken with Canon 40D and 100-400 lens on tripod.

   Thanks George. It’s one of my favorites from last year. It was a very good day at High Island that day.
