just as i get to the beach to take photos, i come across this huge, blue heron. just standing there. he didn’t seem bothered by me taking his picture. infact, he didn’t even care. / as soon as i got up, and wrapped up my camera, he left. it was my first time seeing a bird like that. lucky enough i was taking photos. seeing him fly reminded me of dinosaurs. i would of followed him if not for the stupid rocks around the beach (it was low tide when i saw it). would you believe i took this with a 55mm focal length with a 2.5 second exposure ? you better :) Note: This was displayed at a gallery showing at Exposure Gallery’s ‘Salon Show’ exhibit last june 19th, 2009. Taken at False Creek, Vancouver BC. Canada First Print I ever sold here!! hopefully not the last.

Cattle Egret at Melbourne Zoo in Orange breeding plumage / The breeding season in Australia is November to early January, with one brood laid per season. / The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. / During the breeding season, adults of the nominate western subspecies develop orange-buff plumes on the back, breast and crown, and the bill, legs and irises become bright red for a brief period prior to pairing. / The sexes are similar, but the male is marginally larger and has slightly longer breeding plumes than the female; juvenile birds lack coloured plumes and have a black bill. / ~ Wikipedia / D300; Nikkor 80-400mmED VR
