Early Morning Heron

Robert H. Long Park - Commerce Township, Michigan

This night heron posed nicely in the dim morning light.
A 2x teleconverter was used (1600mm) along with live view to manually focus.
Considering how slow the shutter speed was it turned out quite nicely.
The background was brighter than the subject, so a +1 exposure compensation was used.

This is quite an incredible capture, Sayer. I'm shocked that you got this great image with a 2x teleconverter on such a long zoom lens. I think you just rewrote the photography manuals! Vote
