Snowy Egret - a photo on Flickriver

Snowy Egret

            A Snowy Egret fishing at dawn in the River Arno next to one of the bridges in city centre Florence.

I don't normally photograph wildlife and I was surprised at how difficult these egrets were. The white of the sunlit feathers needed spot metering (a first for me!) with lots of negative exposure compensation otherwise I found the highlights blew out and they are very shy so I only got a couple of shots before it spotted me and moved on.

Taken in: Italia / Toscana / Firenze (show map)
