Irondequoit Bay

Wait, wait! I'm not ready!
This Great Blue Heron landed right in front of me, and plucked a fish out of the water before
it even came to a stop. I was so surprised, I barely had the sense to shoot, let alone set up the camera right. I was in manual focus and that is off a little. It was also getting rather dark out - near sunset (somewhere behind the clouds). There is a lesson here - expect the unexpected when out shooting!


other sizes: small medium original auto

I can't tell you how good it feels to know that I'm not the only one this happens to! Looks to me like you did a great job despite your model's short notice.
