Green Herons Have Become #1 Target

[fotogrob]

I know of two locations in the NY/LI area that I can regularly find green herons. I love to shoot these comical looking birds. I find them flying or hunting. Here are a few favorites of mine.

Were you using auto capture mode?

Were you using auto capture mode?

No and I didn't use pre-capture either. I really haven't tried either. Frankly, knowing the bird's "tells" when they're about to fly, I enjoy the challenge of capturing it the old fashioned way. that being said, I'll probably learn and try pre-capture eventually.

What focusing mode do you use?

Great capture! Just switched from Canon to Nikon

Excellent set. Consider yourself fortunate to have regular access to them. Well done.

 

[fotogrob]

What focusing mode do you use?

I assigned Cycle AF to my record button as Steve has. My default is Wide-L but I'll use Wide-S, Auto Area or Single point if the situation calls for it.

Thank you. These herons love frogs too.

All great, I'm envious that you can get that close. We have them in my area, but it is rare I can get a good look that close. They are a bit wary.

But I take exception to "comical looking birds!" I think they are quite attractive critters!
