Grey Heron??? Not really sure!

These were all shot in Mexico using my girlfriends Nikon P-510 point and shoot... not too bad, I think!

Very impressive results from the P-510.You worked that thing like a DSLR great job I am impressed.

Nice looking Heron. I believe it is a Tricolored Heron... Tricolored Heron, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology

You are 100% correct! It has been a while since I was around birds like this... thanks for the ID! Thank you, I thought the shots turned out well for a point and shoot!

Thanks, Robin! Pretty easy to use little camera. For some reason, even with the same settings and subjects, my girlfriends stuff did not turn out as well! Strange stuff!

I see Kris beat me to the punch, but yeah, definitely a tri-colored. And WOW...that third one? With a P&S?? Dayummm!

I am just lucky to have a very stable stance (that I worked on very hard for a long time shooting handguns when I was younger) and my hands aren't shaky unless I am very caffeinated! lol! I also used program mode... which does allow you do control shutter and aperture... so I made sure that shutter was fast enough, and aperture was wide enough for what I wanted.

Now if I had had my D800 with my 70-200 2.8 with the 1.4 TC... I would be doing a very large print of that last one, lol! As it is.. it might make a decent 11x14.

No matter what these are shot with, they're impressive. The fact that these came out of a P&S is icing on the cake. Well done.

Great job with the point and shoot on this Tri-colored heron

 

[kathyt]
