August 31 I decided to see how close I could get to this great egret at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area on Long Island, NY. I got so close I had to back up so that I could focus. After I backed off, someone else tried and the other photographers in the area were able to take flight photos.

5.31m

All: D200 + 80-400 VR @ 400mm, ISO 400, 1/640, f8, fill flash (SB910)
My processing in Photoshop includes the use of the linear burn blending mode to bring out feather detail.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

You obviously went into stealth mode or had some tasty treats for the bird. Since I've seen you do you thing I suspect the former. There isn't a hint of anything done in post to enhance the detail...pretty damn smooth...well done

Thank you Ken,

I've been visiting this park for 6 years and many of the birds and I have come to know each other. It is much easier to get close when you are approaching an old friend.

Ron,

I use fly paper. There were too many mosquitos to hold the other foot down.

Thank you for the good laugh Ron. I have a ball doing this type of work. I was there with a good friend and when he saw these he said, “I knew you were up to something when you were taking the photos.”

Thank you Dorian

I was surprised how tricky it was to get a good photo of the feet in motion at that distance
