Hi Steve, it was the same bird. At the second picture the heron has walked about 10 meters turning into the sun. I have never checked the color phase. I even don’t know how I can check that. For both pictures I used the flash. On the flash was a Better beamer mounted. The camera settings were the same. 1/1250s, F8, +1ev and iso200. In the pro-processing is nothing done special. Till now I can only explain your remark is caused by turning the camera more into the sun.
Thanks for your good remark. Gives me nice job to find out the why.
Regards Jan

Oke Steve. I have to read better next time. The herons I posted are young herons. Their looks are not yet fully developed. What I know is that the most of the herons in Holland are of the Ardea Cinerea family. I think that your heron comes from the Ardea Herodias family. Clear a more colorful family.

This is why one buys prime lenses, and not aftermarket wannabe's. I got better results out of my 18-105 kit lens at the airshow, and out of my 50mm 1.8 than I did out of a 70-300 Sigma and significantly better when coupled to the 2x extender. I do have to admit, I love the colors in the background from the DoF bokeh.

That was the hard part in editing this photo..the greens were incredibly bright and "GREEN." Trying to get everything else either up to that level of intensity, or like I did, lowering that value a tad to keep everything else in check. I may go back and just shoot that backgrond for the colors later today.

17th April 2011, 01:10 PMilovelucydogRe: Great Blue Heron threadWe vacationed in the Destin area one year... way back when. It was the first time I had ever visited FL. We drove from northeast TN. I remember the bright, vibrant colors of the landscape, and the color of the water and the sand... oh. my. gosh. You must love it. I could live there except for the humidity... it makes my hair curl.:eek:Quote:

17th April 2011, 01:47 PMilovelucydogRe: Great Blue Heron threadWe were there in Sept., I think. I know it was in the off-season but still very warm. We had a bazillion points to use from Brent's travel so the hotel was free... made it nice.Quote:

He came in over my shoulder and I was not quick enough to adjust. Not horrible but I wish he had a little more space all around. This is uncropped.

Then he had to land in the reeds.

Odd, I've never seen them stand in water that deep. He must have been real hungry.

Here we have 3 types of herons.
- The normal heron. Like on the picture.
- The house heron. This one likes to empty the garden ponds.
- The Mc. Donald heron. This one you find near junk food places.

Walking in deeper water is also common here.
