Heron Rookery (Large - 13 pics)

[Khaos]

I made a visit to Cuyahoga National Park. It's near Cleveland, Ohio. They have a Heron rookery. The bad news was you could only view it from the North which leads to constant bright sunshine. I did the best I could but much of the color is muted with some blown out skies. In a couple of days I'll post better pics I got of one fishing in a marsh where the early evening sun was at my back. Big difference.

Nice shots under some very difficult lighting conditions.

You did very well. I know how hard it is to get decent shot under high contrast lightning. Good job!


Thanks for sharing!

Dick.

Even though the light was wrong, you did an excellent job. I love the little ones feeding. :thumb :thumb
