Blue Heron vs Blue Dragonfly

[Jeff G]

I love those kinds of surprises, like Christmas when you find something in a shot you didn't know was there.

It is amazing how a long billed bird with eyes on the side of its head can accomplish such a feat. But then again, capturing such a feat is amazing also. Awesome set Kirk!

Great set!

Thanks, much appreciated!

 

[Scott Whaley]

Good series.

I watched a blue heron eat a rattlesnake and for him I think a dragonfly is an hors d'oeuvre.

Did you shoot them with your Tamron 150-600?

Did you shoot them with your Tamron 150-600?

Yes, I did. I must say, that lens can feel a little heavy at times when you try holding it steady for dozens of pics. I do keep my monopod on hand.

Thanks! I actually didn't know what he was chomping on, he was so far away but always a pleasure to take pics just the same.
