Bird Flying Into The Setting Sun

I got my camera out, and went for a little walk yesterday evening. One of the images I captured is today’s Picture of the Day.

We’ve got quite a few of these white cattle egrets in our neighborhood. They mostly forage around the ground looking for worms and insects. But since they’re birds, they do also fly … which is really what I want to get pictures of …

So, armed with my trust Canon 20D and Sigma 50-500mm lens I sat out in the field amongst the birds for about an hour, right before sunset. The shot above was my favorite of the day. This guy was flying towards the setting sun, which gave pretty nice lighting effect.

For any fellow photography buffs, here are my camera setting from the shot: 500m F5.6 1/1250s ISO200 AutoFocus was AIfocus.

I hope enjoy the picture. Catch you again tomorrow.

Todd
