I have passed by these rapids many times. Never noticing much. Then on chance I stopped by. Luckily I found a Heron. So the next day I got up really early. It was dark, when I arrived. He was there though. Being lit by street light. I was not expecting him that early. So a good bonus.
Later on, he ended up chasing a few other herons. Then landed on a near by rock. The light lintensity was relatively low. Giving this great oportunity, for a long exposure.
Camera was on a tripod and gimbal head. Mirror lock was used and a shutter release.
I love the look of this image. Very little pp was applied. The slow exposure made it come to life. Along with a decently sharp bird. I just wish I had a little more room around him. But other elements, came into play. So I cropped it as is.
I'm very happy with this image. It's been some time, since I did some slow exposures of birds.
