Great Blue Herron Closeup [9]

New London, Minnesota

I was able to get close, but the lighting was poor. Fortunately this fellow was patient and tolerant, even though I fired off numerous flashes. I took a couple dozen shots; this is the only one that was even close to being a "keeper."

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/60s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso1600 with Flash hide exif

Great shot! I never would have thought you could have used a flash without scaring him off. Well done. Vote.
