Both this and Hawk are well up toyour usual outstanding work. Thanks even more
for sharing your technique. This E-mail gets filed in the folder along with all
of the cranky old DR T's words of infinate wisdom for future learning
experiences

Subject: [LRflex] IMG: Great Blue Heron
The local fish hatchery's resident Great Blue Heron has been very cooperative
but the backgrounds and lighting have not been. Yesterday I tried unusual (for
me) technique:
I used a tripod
I used the camera's base ISO
I stopped the lens down to f/19
I used rubber muck boots
I used mirror pre-release and self timer
I used a 1/2 sec shutter speed.
There were 2 ideas behind the 1/2 sec shutter speed. First, I wanted to reduce
the contrast of the flowing water, and second, I wanted to contrast the heron's
motionlessness with the flowing water. The rubber muck boots were so I could
stand in the stream without soaking my feet. I did this to get a jumble of
rocks out of the background.
What do you think? (klicken Sie the Picture to embiggen the Pixels)
