great blue heron

gbh

It just seems the impossible become real sometimes... I guess if you work a particular spot, in a particular way, for a peculiarly long amount of time, you will find something special in the ordinary, the mundane, the obvious. Here again is the typical great blue heron shot, but the lighting was just amazing. Perfect profile, perfect shot, and a perfect gbh. I just can't get over how good this shot looks, and all with a boring old 300mm AI-s I picked up on eBay. Look at the out of focus rendering of this relatively slow lens, it begs the obvious question, how far has nikon come? One day I will pony up for something exotic in the nikkor lens lineup, but for now I will have to find the value in the old things, the manual focus lenses, and the eBay experience. Not such a bad thing really :)))
