    … I captured a series of shots of the Blue Heron that I sent out last night and this shot is the next in the series, taken approximately .14 seconds after the shot from last night … you can see where he has lifted off with the mighty force of the push from the legs and the forward and downward beat of the wings. The shot that precedes last nights shows our heron just beginning to uncoil into that max stretch we saw last night. Total elapsed time of the three shots is approximately .4 seconds and each shot was taken at 1/2000th of a second.

    I was pretty close to the heron so shooting with the Nikon D850 and the 200/500 lens @ 500mm gave me a nearly full frame heron which means very large images can be made. The image size out of the camera is 8256 x 5504 pixels which translates into a native image size at 300ppi of 27.52” x 18.35” … that translates into hi res images of 40 x 60 inches in wonderful detail which can be made. I am going to go back and reprocess last nights image, this one and the one where he is coiled and do a triptych of the three … not sure I have a wall where I can put 3, 40 x 60 inch photos up,  but will check tomorrow.

    Really will be awesome and if you would like one or the set in whatever size, let me know. I am going to do all three in 18,000 x 12,000 pixels, so bringing it back down to say 30” x 20” is a piece of cake. The feather detail is amazing and the image going out tonight to the lists that get the photo as an attachment are truly mind boggling.

    So time to wrap the day which moment by moment ended up a day filled with the beauty of friendship and natural beauty. It is a wonderful world and we are blessed to be here and interact with all that is. Keep breathing and smile … all that is, awaits you every day and share a smile with those you meet and greet for it adds to your joy and life is so very short.

    Cheers

    I go out into the night and stretch forth my arms, as
    if to embrace one I love
    …the solace of the stars is sweet, and the stillness has a voice I understand

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
