A Fish Dinner In 7 Steps

I went out to take pictures of birds today and came across this Great Blue Heron having a meal. I wasn't able to get many shots before he moved out of my view. I put them together in a little mini stop motion video.

Haha, very creative. The sped up pictures in the middle worked out great. Makes me feel like I'm right there :)

Clever presentation! I have voxinabox's problem too. GB Herons are the Greta Garbo of birds.

I know they are very elusive. I was very excited to see this one within range of my camera. It lives on a bird sanctuary and there are many photographers and bird watchers around so I think it's comfortable in it's environment.

hehe. Good stuff. The only way i can get the local heron to come to the pond near me is to NOT take a camera with me.

I know they are elusive, mostly staying far away from me and my camera. They don't like the tripod either.

Thanks. I'll have a look at that video.

Your welcome. I love GB Herons. They are so hard to find up close but this one would rather eat than worry about a photographer.

Thank you. They look better when they haven't been resized for the video.
