2013—Day 328—Take Off

 

 

 

I went on a late afternoon walk with Mady, this time at Mahaney Park in Roseville.  I think I have photographed this great white egret before; it seems always to be there.  I followed him from one pond to another, and watched him gulp down his supper but he was in deep shade so my shots were mediocre at best.   Then I actually took the time to adjust my settings in case he took flight.  I raised the shutter speed to 1/500 and changed the focus to “continuous” and my few seconds of introspection about my settings paid off.  I was prepared when the egret flew up and out of the shadows into the golden hour sunlight.

  1. Fabulous picture of the egret! I’ve thought of you often recently. Really enjoy your photos & look forward to them daily. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Many blessings to you. Maybe we’ll see each other out walking our dogs sometime soon! Peggy
