Egress Out Of The Sun - Great Egret

And now for something a little bit different!

This shot of a Great Egret - a bird not too common in the Quebec City region - was taken last evening as it passed by the setting sun. The combination of direct sun hitting the camera lens and the egret makes for a very unusual image.

Canon 7D with a 500L f4 lens with a 1.4 II extender handheld @ 1/800, f5.6, ISO 400, +1 1/3 exposure compensation.

Uncropped, a couple of small aberrations clonned away, selctive sharpening only on the bird to reduce background noise.

Cheers,

Mike

Intéressant, Mike.
On dirait que l’aigrette s’échappe d’un volcan en éruption. J’aime quand les images font travailler l’imagination. J’aime la pose de l’aigrette les lignes arrondies en arrière-plan. Salutations!
