Landscape Photography
We were both on a mission here. Thunder and lightning were getting close, he wanted to catch something, I wanted a few quick shots.
We both did OK. He dropped down and grabbed something from the swamp, I now have 100+ images to sort through.
And we did get another 3 inches (7.6 Centimeters) of rain.
Reflections in these swamps play tricks on you.

Even in an open spot finding the solid bank may not be easy,
Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia, USA.
So… an omen ?
Taken from a small boat in a thick swamp that required pushing a pole to move forward.
Does he know something we don’t.
The perfect pose right down to looking directly at me.
When you turn the motor off there is no noise. Gliding along slowly helps to see, or even hear, any closer birds.
The question is will they see us first. Of course.

I had hoped to have some birds in the foreground. Of course they came along later.

A portrait, done a little different.
Tricolored Heron, monochrome.
Gave me a few angles and poses, never thought to fly off.
This swamp has a few dark spots toward the end of day, before sundown though.
A bird, here by luck a white one, can fly through the sun and still have an almost black background.
