CommentThis was my first encounter with a Nankeen Night Heron and while he was quite obliging as I took photos of him fishing in the shallows, the close undergrowth surroundings and tricky light conditions made it challenging to shoot with a nice background and good exposure. I took quite a few frames, but this one of the heron staring at his next target is probably my favourite. Taken with manual exposure set at f/6.3, 1/200 and ISO 2000, and processed using DPP4, PSE & Neat Image.
EquipmentCanon EOS 5D MKIII, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sports lens
