p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Great Egret Landing

One of the things I enjoy at the Marine Nature Study Area located in Oceanside, NY is how much activity there is. I was busy photographing tree swallow chicks being fed by the adults, when I spotted this great egret coming in.

Really beautiful landing series, but LOVE the swallow family

Curios on your aperture and shutter on the Egret??

Thank you,

My approach for photographing white birds has always been the same. I want to be one click below the flashing highlight warning. When I was shooting Nikon I shot flight in manual exposure and still do this at times using my Fuji gear. Using the fuji gear I also shoot aperture priority with my Sigma 150-600 C wide open at f 6.3, the ISO high enough to get reasonable shutter speeds in this case 400. I let the shutter drift and adjust the exposure compensation which is a dedicate wheel on the Fuji. In this case it was +1 EV with the light from behind. I'd be at about 0 EV the bird were front lit. I adjust by eye as I see my exposures in real time shooting mirrorless.

Lovely, and good job with the light. I especially like the 2nd landing shot (and the swallows shot, as well).
