Blue Heron_004.jpg

Goose Creek, NAS Patuxent River, MD

I was trying to catch the action of all the birds just prior to sunset, when the
"older" heron in the rear started to chase the other one out a choice area.
This was a quick pan on the tripod trying to catch tha action! This shot is pretty
much striaght out of the camera! Cropped a little to level the horizon and sharpened.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/640s f/6.3 at 340.0mm iso200 full exif

Super shot, BJ. I thought it was a composite of two pictures of the same bird. Nice backlighting, good job
of panning. GMV
