Blue Heron
September 9, 2009
I went out and shot in the rain on Monday afternoon hoping to get some interesting landscapes. I didn’t get anything remarkable other than finding a spot that I want to go reshoot at another time, but did spend some time with this beautiful heron. The sky was perfectly overcast and the angle of the reflection on the (absolutely still) water gave a perfect gray background. Off-camera flash to the left to give the colors some pop and put a catchlight in his eye. And yes, he only has one leg – didn’t seem to bother him one bit.
