Sunrise light, and a water skier!
Great blue heron.
Sweet early morning light, and a heron doing a neat skiing demo.
Maria and I were up and gone very early, to pic up my friend harry, and get out for breakfast.
Then a trip to Burlington, Ontario to test our luck. Maria had some wonderful luck with the Osprey, please check her gallery to see a fantastic image. Good things happen once in a while!
On the far fright of the pond, I saw this heron lift off and make a neat looking low flight. I was able to get a lock with the autofocus early, and tracked this bird as it flew about 150 yards (ca. 137 m) across the water.
Right in front of us, it pulled up, did a short ski on the water and landed. Using a high frame rate, I was capable of choosing this shot to tell the story. Let's just say technology does make a difference.
Early morning and a low angle of light sure makes this image fun to see. Too bad the bird didn't do a full body flip like I used to when I was water-skiing. My back still stings.
Good fun, we are hoping to keep busy shooting until the Ecuador tour kicks in, November 15th, 2022.
Thank you so much for your visit, please feel free to share.
