Thursday, July 12, 2007 – Egrets Lunch Alone

What you want to know about egrets can be found in the item from May 2006, with its photographs.  This guy, at the lagoon in Playa del Rey, provided an excuse to work with the telephoto lens and try for some better compositions.  Sometimes you get tired of Hollywood and its silliness, so you drive down to the beach, which has its own silliness, but stop at the inland lagoon for a break from your own species.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the 'fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.

Technical Note:

Most of these photographs were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.  Earlier photography was done with a Sony Mavica digital still camera (MVC-FD-88) with built-in digital zoom.
