Great Egret Approach

My first post of a shot taken with my new Canon 500mm f4 lens at the Ridgefield NWR today, Aug. 23.  I discovered about a dozen Great Egrets wading around in South Rest Lake.  This bird is approaching for a landing.   Canon 5D Mark III, 1/1250, f4, ISO 2000, Canon 500mm f4L IS II lens.

   I’m happy to hear about your new lens. It will take some adjusting to but I look forward to the images you will get with it. The egret foretells many more to come. Congratulations Dennis.

     Thanks, Bruce! Yes, I’ll need some “seat time” with it to unlock its full potential. And I look forward to doing that!
