Thank you Jay. For quite some time I had been taking images of egrets in color. One day I thought to myself, in infrared the sky turns dark and the green foliage turns white, so maybe I should try shooting egrets with that in mind. So, that is how I started to photograph the egrets in infrared. The only problem, in our camera club, is that infrared images cannot be entered in the nature category. Infrared images can be entered in pictorial category, though. |

I meter for the white bird and then overexpose about 1/3 to 2/3 and any adjustments for the white egret are made with Lightroom processing to bring down the brightness if needed. There are times in the past that I have the right exposure for the bird but then the bird takes a turn, and if the sun is just at the right angle, it creates a hot spot (overexposure) on the bird.
Thank you for your positive comments on the image....much appreciated. |

I do prefer the monochrome image better. The design elements in the image make this a strong image. I see implied triangles, rectangles, circles....all that add a visual interest. Post processing is nice, especially the contrast. |

Kudos for carrying a 600 mm lens to the hide. I used to say when I carried my 500 mm lens that I needed a sherpa to carry my lens. The curve in the bird's body along with the subtle colors are eye-catching. The texture of the bark along with the subtle lighting enhances the woodland setting in the image. Well done. |

I've photographed the Blue Angels several times and it's not easy to get an image where the planes are separated from each other so congratulations on your capture. The original image is a bit dark but you did a great job brining out details. If there are white clouds at the next air show I would meter off the white clouds and open up about 1/3-2/3 stops. That way, you will have all the details in the original image you need. In post processing you would probably just have to bring the exposure down a bit. It just when your, image is a bit dark to begin with that you don't have as much detail to work with. |

A wonderful portrait of the mother and daughter. The soft lighting really enhances the image though I think a radial mask on the bird and daughter to lighten up those subjects would really enhance the image. Congratulations on a nicely captured image. |

The flow of the water is perfect...not too much blurriness or sharpness. The contrast really enhances the image...subtle but nice. Well done. |

Thank you for your kind words and keen observation. I agree with you that the bird would look a little better (or a lot) toned down. I need to be more observant of the details that make a picture better. Thank you for your suggestion....much appreciated. |
