Egret


Now that it is not 90 degrees every day, I decided to go for a walk, down along the harbor which is my favorite route.  Saw this Egret, but I didn't have my telephoto lens with me - it is heavy compared to my normal lens.  But the file size of my Sony a7 III is huge so I was able to crop this closeup from the wider angle view. Beautiful birds, these egrets are.


So this is what the full frame looks like.  The original is a 58 MB file, which is so large that I could make such a tight crop.  My first digital camera was a Nikon D-1 that the company bought all of us.  It  cost $2,500 and the file was only 7 MB!  That was in 2001.  A few advances since then!

Nice shot of the Egret. He looks so delicate. Love the sand and the water in the photo. Nice end of the summer photo. Trace
