STOP and read before you scroll:
Do not Scroll ahead, just enjoy the images until the LAST image.
I went down to the Lake early today, to get in some of that gorgeous early morning sun and I was rewarded in many ways. I got to use my Nikon F5, bonus, and I got some amazing images. The first image is prompting this Guessing Game Contest with no winner!There are 4 image like the one below. The one BELOW is the one to look at very, very carefully.
There is something on the Egret I am going to show you. Look at it carefully until you give up guessing what it is.This image is cropped at not quite 8%. Scroll slowly if you want to pain yourself to guess first.
This next image is a BiF shot I caught of the Egret, probably one of my best so far. This is such a hard bird to photograph under any circumstances, much less in flight. Feel free to comment.These images are all shot MANUAL.
Love the reflection on the pond this morning. Beautiful blue sky, no wind ... perfect, other than the 4" of muck I was standing in.
This is the LAST image of the EGRET. It is landing. What goes up, has to come down! Do not go below this image if you are still guessing what is on the EGRET in the first image.
STOP HERE IF YOU STILL WANT TO GUESS and go back up for a final look.As I said in the the beginning of the post, I cropped this picture to fit the black frame perfectly. It is about 7.5% -8% crop. The image was shot full frame.I used my Nikon 300mm with NO teleconverter.The egrets were in a friendly mood this morning.There were 8 of them on the pond at any one time. While I was doing PP, I noticed this dot and investigate further just out of curiosity!
Check this out:
A House Fly on the Egret! This blew me away.
I am shooting with a 300mm lens, I am a good 25-30 feet away minimum and you can make out a housefly on the bird! I have another image in this series where there is also a Mosquito on it near the fly!
