This photo was taken at the Brazoria NWR in Texas on the wildlife driveTime
This was taken early afternoon about 1PMLighting
As we drove the refuge I was lucky this Egret flew out of marsh with the sun at my backEquipment
Handheld Sigma 50-500 Canon 80D 1/500 F9 500mmInspiration
When my husband and I drive any wildlife loop he drives and I get to sit in the back seat so I can shoot from both sides! He calls it drivin Miss Linda time :) Spotted this Egret in the marsh we had just stopped the car and it took off right past our car. Only time to get off 3 good shots from the window This shot, wings going up and wings up. This was the sharpest.Editing
This shot is straight off the card no processing no croppingIn my camera bag
I carry a Canon 80D and a Canon 70D. Sigma 50-500 on the 80D Canon 18-135 on the 70D with a Hoyas Cir Pl for landscapes and also carry Canon 70-300 for when I need more mobility as the Sigma can get heavy. Just recently started to carry a ifootage carbon fiber monopod with a manfrotto ball head.Feedback
I was extremely lucky with this shot. For me getting tack sharp birds in flight is difficult.. .practice practice practice!
