You'll get tired of seeing these birds pretty soon,
but here's a few I shot today with the Nikon P100.
The herons are developing relationships!

If it stays warm tomorrow and if I can find a time when the rain stays away,
I'll take the Canon down there and see what I can capture with the 70-200 lens..
First -- renovation of the old abandoned nest.
Next -- bill and coo -- hey! the neighbors are watching!
And finally, just a couple of shots to show what the P100 can and can't do.
First with no zoom.
Then, zoomed in all the way -- isn't that amazing!
But the chromatic aberration is distracting to say the least,
so I converted this to black and white.
Wonderful series of photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great to be able to see! So, multiple pairs nest in the same tree? Interesting. Yes, good idea to convert to B&W to get rid of the chromatic aberration. I have a lot of trouble with that under certain conditions with one of my lenses.
ReplyDeletegreat series of shots.
ReplyDeleteThe top photo has such elegant linesw, especially effectine in those muted greys.
ReplyDeleteThat top image is a perfect Valentine's image! :) That is just beautiful w/ the monotones and curves!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice collection of heron photos. The zoom difference is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've seen heron's eating my goldfish but never roosting ia a tree. Looks like love is in the air.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo,
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots of the loving pair. Hopefully we'll see babies before long. Have a great day!
