With all this talk about the "Magic Hour" I decided to make a pilgrimage to the shore and take advantage of the light. I was actually hoping to get some shots of the returning Egrets/Herons/Ibis etc. that are raising young on the island in this photo, but the winds were a bit high and the bigger birds seemed to have hunkered down to ride it out. Instead I got this shot. The white spots, that are just barely visible on the island are Egrets.
So I guess it is with some Egrets that I present "Pink Moon". http://www.mindspring.com/~megazip/PESO_--_pinkmoon.html Tech. Info.: Pentax *ist-Ds ISO 1600 @ 1/125sec (Av) smc Pentax-F 70-210mm f4.0~5.6 @ f4.0 (103mm) Note: There seems to be something of a loss of the original subtlety of light from the raw file to the jpeg. I'm probably going to try another cut at this, or one of the many other slightly different exposures and compositions I tried, but this will have to do for now.
