Great Blue Heron

A great blue heron patiently waits for dinner to pass by as he rests on a rocky ledge in the middle of the Moira River in Belleville, Ontario.

This is the first black & white image I’ve posted using my new 100-400mm lens. It was also my first visit to this particular location to shoot waterfowl. Although I liked the color version, I was drawn to this black & white version more.

Camera Details:
Canon Rebel EOS XTi with Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens @ 400mm. SS 1/320, ISO 200, f/5.6. Shot in RAW and converted to monochrome in Digital Photo Professional.

SHOT HANDHELD using the rail along the walkway for stability. I will NOT be hand holding this lens for long periods of time. My tripod and I are now going to become better acquainted…lol
