Back down on the RMC, this morning, with just a single bite for my troubles. A nice Pike, of 14 lbs 2 oz, gracing the landing net and, therefore, allowing me further practice with the self-take gizmo.
It's nice to have the chance to prat about taking shots of fish like this as it really doesn't matter if I make a complete "pig's ear" of the result. What's important is the lessons provided during such times. The last thing I want is to discover that I've completely screwed up the photos of a new PB! Top excitement from the session was provided by a perched Little Egret. It obviously felt safe on its' perch, high up on the opposite bank and I rattled off over one hundred shots as a result. Got to say that some of the better images are the very best I've ever captured of these lovely birds.
I realise that this post is very short and sweet; there's a lot going on at the moment. Family stuff has no place in blogdom, but there are plenty of birds and fish to keep me entertained if all goes to my February plan?
They are lovely shots Dyl...
ReplyDeleteCheers Stewart, Little Egrets are regularly encountered along this section of the RMC but haven't, until this moment, been particularly cooperative with my camera attempts. Quite why this individual was so willing to pose is a bit of a puzzle but, it did and for that, I'm truly grateful. The role that a Canon EOS 70D played, however, cannot be underestimated. Thanks for the comment - Dyl
