I followed this beautiful Snowy Egret for a half hour, taking countless shots. I found this one blurry shot absolutely captivating from a pose perspective and decided to share it.
When she walked through the sides of the muddy pond her feet were sinking and getting stuck. She had to carefully pry her yellow feet up for each step.
She was spinning around amd darting so quickly, she looked like she was dancing. My camera settings, and to be fair - my photography skill level - were no match!
The fish should fear her. Look at that intensity!
Getting ready to pull the trigger...
Thank you for the show!
One more time to view this amazing pose. She was working the pond counter-clockwise and decided to fly back a bit and landed directly in front of me. This pose is her landing. This shot made me think of many things, one of which is a Phoenix rising from the ashes!
What does this picture remind you of?
All pictures taken by @rawruss with a Nikon D3400 w/ 70-300mm lens on July 19, 2018 in North Florida.
Beautiful sequence telling her story in words and photos! I especially like the closeup of her intent eye - so fierce and concentrating! I also like the shot "on the wing" with her wings slightly blurred in focus - this softens the movement, shows action, and indeed presents the appearance of a ballerina in motion. Very nice work.
