Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: Great Egret (Ardea alba)
Place: Bosque del Apache NWR, NM, USA
Date: November 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6), tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 75% of frame

Commentary: I always like strong graphics in images, and this pair of Great Egrets in the pond opposite the Visitor's Center made an interesting element in otherwise difficult lighting conditions. I also like this image as a black-and-white.
