I went to Occoquan Wildlife Refuge yesterday looking to get some good Heron shots. After following eBird reports for the Refuge for a while I decided it was time for me to go.
Unfortunately I didn't get any Herons closeups. They usually just flew away from me, or were too far to begin with.
I did however observe Red-Winged Blackbirds for a while, and here is what I feel the better shot out of the bunch.
Being a post processing novice, I'd appreciate your feedback.
I just did some basic whites & blacks and Highlight/Shadow adjustments.
The picture is shot with a 7D2 and Sigma 15-600 C @600mm f/6.3 1/1600 ISO640 taken at 8:30AM.
At the end of the day, my trip was still a success, as I don't usually see many Red-Winged Blackbirds around my house.
Hopefully I'll have more luck with the herons next time out
