hello friends, for this photo too i was sit
exactly at the same rock as my previous 3 shots

it is not a superb photo but i am happy about it
it is the reason why i am posting, the luminosity
was bad, and at that time i have problems of focus,
for this photo i shot at ISO800 and i am happy very
happy of the result, i gived noise removal to the sky

from the Seattle Audubon Society website :

« Black-crowned Night-herons are gregarious
at all times of the year, and are often seen in very
large groups. As their name implies, they are
mostly nocturnal, roosting during the day in trees
or marshes, and foraging at night, especially at
dusk and dawn. They have also been seen feeding
during the day, a practice most common during
the demanding nesting season. When foraging,
they usually stand still or walk slowly at the edge
of shallow water, waiting for their prey. They will
also perch above the water to fish. Birds return
year after year to traditional winter roost sites. »

Merci

Kind regards

Hi!

Another good picture friend Asbed... to be sat in that rock has produced good fruits!... pleases me the note, is appreciated that you "live" your pictures and you achieve a challenge in each of them. I seems that the final result of this, taken to ISO 800; is very good. You have processed this photo very well. I strange time exceed the ISO 400 and I have to work a lot with the PP to achieve a relatively decent result!

**ADDITIONAL: Very well compound, and my seems that sky so clear is a real challenge to take a picture!

Regards MF!

Buen encuadre y formato. Respira naturalidad esta toma por su poca manipulación.
Saludos Asbed: Josep Ignasi.

Hello Asbed, nice in-flight shot from fine point of view.
TFS and regards,

Bonjour Asbed,

La prise de vue permet de distinguer les détails et les couleurs du bihoreau gris en vol. Il y a un bon contraste entre le cile nuageux et l'oiseau. Le sujet est bien cadré. Bonne journée.

Hello Asbed
