CommentPhotographing egrets from a low angle is popular for good reason. After some patience and perseverance, I finally captured this beautiful wing position against a dark background. I had to lie on my belly, hover the camera over the water, and focus using Live View on the flip screen. Mozzies, poor light, and a flat camera battery eventually stopped play.
