The other day I saw a heron fly across the pond and by the time I got the camera up to my eye and focused it had almost reached the opposite shore...
Above: The surprising thing to me was how blue the bird looked. I have not messed around with the colours in these shots.
The first two shots are cropped too much and the bird was fully in the shade. I guess the shade is making the colour extra blue.
I followed the heron around the pond, just in time to see it take flight again, this time in direct sunlight.
Now you can see the more natural-looking colour which I would call grey rather than blue.
Finally, the heron settled into the water and sat motionlessly long enough for me to get bored and move on... I hope you enjoyed these photos. Thanks for visiting!
