Worked up a few more of my bird shots. Man, it sure takes time to go through all these. Of course it doesn't help when I take ~500 shots each time I go!
This one was kind of neat. GBH is not one of the more common birds found at Gatorland but this one showed up. What was interesting about this is while he's standing there wading, 2 gators came awful close to him from his left. Then a 3rd gator came right in front of him. I was sure one of them was going to snap him up, but alas, no! He wasn't too amused with the intruders and let out a couple of big yelps before taking off. Here's what it looked like. Notice the 2 gators behind him and one just passing in front.
I know this probably isn't technically right but it has some characteristics that really make me like this shot. The light was really nice but I was amazed at the bokeh. This (as were all of these) was taken with the 300 f4 AFS and Tamron 1.4x on a tripod.
And this is one of my favorite Egret posed shots.
