"Lift Off" | 02:38PM Jan 10, 2009
This morning I captured a shot I have had in mind for a while. I wanted to get a photo of a Great Blue Heron just as it was leaving the water. I am pretty happy with the way this turned out although I almost cut off the birds foot with the framing. Captured this handheld with the Sigma 150-500 (was at 290mm). What catches my eye in this photo are the water trails off the feet and the mixture of the sharp body and moving wings. The overcast sky gave me a shutter of 1/500..
