12-DEC-2012 Vern Rogers (fotabug fotos)

Poetry in Motion!

I didn't think I could do it! Not with a Coolpix 510! But I did it! Captured an egret in flight!

What it takes is anticipation adn a ready finger on the shutter button. I waited, on the ready, for a little while and was then rewarded with three shots of the egret after it took off from a spot out in Delta Ponds. I am pleased, to say the least! True, my D3 would definitely done better, but I also liked the challenge!
