A dark corner, dark metering, a bit of drama.

The camera was setup for shooting Great Egrets. Spot metering seems to work best for me with the white birds. I get more details, less blown out images. Shifting to another subject means changing settings…usually.

I went for the quick shot instead and while a dribbling beak is not real drama the dark backgrounds worked out for me here. Crazy neon birds just make great images.
