Great Blue Heron Up Close

Chandler, Arizona

This shot of the Great Blue Heron is very similar to the GBH and Grate shot but I simply cropped it closer in an effort to help block out the ugly background. One nice aspect of the 400mm f2.8 is that the bokeh and it help make the background be almost acceptable.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

That is what struck me on these as well. The 400mm f2.8 simply shines at these distances and creates the worlds most pleasing backgrounds while maintaining amazing detail in the in focus areas.
