Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)
Place: Corkscrew Swamp, FL, USA
Date: March 1987
Equipment: probably Nikon FE2, Nikkor 200 or 300, hand held
Film: Kodachrome 64
Exposure: Aperture priority center-weighted meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of frame (cropped left edge only)

Commentary: From one of only two trips I've made to Florida, this image still pleases me. It shows that I've been shooting birds-in-habitat images for a long time. I like this setting, and I like that this image is different from the heron images we normally see of a bird against a clean background.
