Most times I can set myself, at least for a moment, before taking the shot. This bird came out of no where and landed right in front of me. These are the first quick shots.


The rule is take the first photographs as soon as you have a chance. Then you can take time and set things correctly.
He never moved and every shot after these was boring or just plain bad. So much for planning.
I love the picture of the egret.
