Hi Boris,



Thanks for the beuatiful photograph of this flying heron. Did it take long to get this picture?



In my instance the light wasn't harsh at all. And comuing back later would result in too much shadows around this pond. Because the sun 'was low' the water was very dark, much darker than your photograph. So, the contrast was still too much.



Of course I could lighten the water in Lightroom or so, but I like to try to do as little post-processing as possible. I am not lazy, I just can sit very long periods of time due to my back.



Best wishes,



Reinier

This one wasn't difficult to make, since the herons usually fly in straight line and the light was good.
