Great Egret (Ardea alba)
This one is no masterpiece, but is a reminder that being there is just as important as all the technical stuff we worry about. In this case the light was horrible. It was raining steadily and I was more intent on finding someplace dry than in finding subjects to photograph. Still this Great Egret actively fishing caught my eye.
I cranked the ISO up to 1600 and fired a burst of frames. As expected the detail wasn't great, but the action was. Do the behavioral aspects outweigh the technical shortcomings? Food for thought...
