Canon 7D Mark II with Canon 100-300 mm L lensInspiration
Normally I lack one main trait of a successful nature photographer - patience! In this instance, the great egret was making some rather interesting moves so I decided to exercise some patience and watch it for awhile. I was finally rewarded when the bird assumed this unusual attitude accentuated by being reflected on the pond.Editing
Basically converting from RAW to JPEGIn my camera bag
I mostly carry a Canon 7D Mark II with the Canon 100-300mm L lens - I consider this the ideal rig for the nature photographer.Feedback
Patience, patience, patience!
