A really stunning and inspiring shot (almost makes me want to get up for dawn....almost..lol).

Everyone else has already stated what I wanted to say about this shot. Am curious what your set-up was (any additional filters...lens set...digi-darkroom work). Would be great to know what helped you catch this wonderful shot.

Cheers
Richard

Hello Rick,

Very well timed. A fine, soft feel as well.

Fantastic composition, Rick...you could probably sell a ton of copies of this, it is so timeless yet such a superb capture. Really nice catch!

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the fine comment, glad you liked the pic.... as for you other questions..
Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec
Aperture: 8.0
Exposure mode: Av
Flash: Off
Metering mode: Center-weighted average
Drive mode: Single frame shooting
ISO: 400
Lens: 85 mm
Focal length: 85.0 mm
Subject distance: 11.9 m
AF mode: One-shot AF
Focus point:

Image size: 2160 x 1440
Image quality: Raw
White balance: Auto

This was the set up for this hand held shot. No filters were used other than the UV that stays on the lens.

I did considerable Photoshop work on the shot over the period of several days, because the original had a problem... see original tiff direct from raw conversion below

Couldn't begin to tell you everything I did in trying to get the lens flare eliminated.

Hi Rick,

Wow, I'm without words!

This shot makes me envious, since I haven't managed to capture heron's in flight successfully let alone in such a beautiful sunset!

Great shot!,
Alfred

Thanks for the info about the shot. Though I don't own a digi-slr (yet!) its handy to know some settings to consider should I come across an opportunity like this.

Did a great job dealing with that lens flare. Comparing to the final shot is a job really well done.

Cheers
Richard
