A grey day at the coast, but the Heron kept us entertained

Hope people are not getting bored of these!

1/50 Shutter., this time gliding... which made the subject more stable for panning (wing flapping invariably causes body movement)

I find this sort of photography fun and challenging., and it creates the opportunity for something quite ordinary (a Heron flying past) to become something extraordinary in a photographic sense

1/50th second shutter speed., for a 'different' perspective on this beautiful Egret

Regularly used to great effect in motorsport., panning (I think) can be equally effective in wildlife photography

Todays cameras are highly sophisticated pieces of equipment and it's fun to stretch them (and yourself) to the very limits

Really a follow-up to the last shot., this time with a Heron

He was in a bit of hurry., but the slow shutter made him look like a low flying Cruise Missile

It's said if you drive a car fast enough you'll become invisible to a speed camera

Conversely if a cameras shutter speed is slowed down far enough (in this case 1/25) the beating wing's of a bird will also become virtually invisible

Unlike the speed camera theory (which is a myth by-the-way... don't try it!) this shot proves the latter theory to be correct!

Panning the bird to keep it's body reasonably sharp., the faster moving wings become translucent (i.e. see-through)

It's a photographic 'effect' of course., where a shot doesn't' actually show what was there (...the camera never lies?? there's another myth!!)

Is it pleasing to the 'eye'?., well that's subjective of course
But at the very least (for me at least) it's photographically interesting
