during a long slow winter I admit to amusing myself making these by the hundreds. I called them folds, and quads. I always felt they were in grave danger of being gimmicky. Interesting though. I will throw a couple in for you to see.

This is absolutely beautiful. Love it. If it's not water, what is it?

Guess I will post some more just to see if we can keep this going.
More Egrets, one each from 2015, 2016, 2017
#1 1-1-2017 7DII, 100-400L mk2+1.4x III @ 420, 1/640 @ f/8.0, ISO 2000
#2 12-28-2016 7DII, 100-400L mk2 @ 300, 1/1000 @ f/5.6, ISO 250
#3 11-17-2015 6D, 100-400L mk1 @ 300, 1/800 @ f/8.0, ISO 640
The "experts" say the 6D is not good for action or BIF. Well I tracked this one coming in for a landing, chasing and catching two minnows, whirling in place when the school darted back between his feet, pursuing them in this shot, missing a strike as they darted into the deeper water to his right (the egret is running on a concrete curb/edging to an under water planter), taking off and going off under the foot bridge on the up stream side of this pond. This all took place in 37 seconds according to exif on the frames. I took about 6 short bursts and several single shots and ended up with 32 good frames to select from.

Looks grumpy, had just missed a strike.

Stalking in the dead plant stems, herded the fish into the rocks along the bank and got a couple.

Those are lovely. I especially like the ripples reflected across the bird in 2.

Thank you very much.
I went to the same location today. One Great Egret, did not go in water for me. Walked around on shore, stood and groomed in shade. Flew to tree by another pond, then down to bank for more grooming in heavy shade, up to beams of foot bridge etc etc etc.
I did find a mother Mallard with 8 ducklings, first napping in shade then went for a long swim around the main pond, then under the street bridge and didn't come back out. I need to go through shots and see what is high end keepers. I also did two horizontal panoramas of the man made stream and one vertical covering about 150-200 yards of the stream as seen from the foot bridge.
