Bare-throated Tiger-Heron (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

Hi everyone,

I am just back from 3 weeks in wonderful Costa Rica. After my photo workshop concluded down there I stayed on for 5 extra days and had a wonderful opportunity with this Tiger Heron. Finding this guy in the low light as the sun went down presented some interesting opportunities to include the movement of the water in the image. I stopped WAY down to f/45 in order to get a 3.2 second exposure. I was very happy with the result

Any comments on this one are greatly appreciated.

All the best!

Glenn

Theres no way the bird stayed that still for 3.2 seconds?
