Yesterday's walk on the beach provided many photo opportunities. Among them was this Snowy Egret.

Good work on avoiding a major blowout with all that white, Dennis!
Thank you Mike. I appreciate the great comment and also you recognizing the possibilities of much that could go wrong. My exposure meter was sort of going crazy what with the white on dark background. I tried my exposure compensation and apparently got it somewhat right. While I know WHAT to do I don't always get right, HOW MUCH to do. I envy those who do.

Love the lighting. He posed nicely for you.
Thank you NMGal. I appreciate your fine comment. Yes he did. I had a number of shots of him. He was so busy looking for food he hardly paid any attention to me.

I have a comment... I'm just curious why you posted so many shots of almost exactly the same subject matter-- just moved slightly for each photo. I've noticed this on this site. Lots and lots of photos in one post of almost exactly the same subject matter and composition. I wonder, why don't you just pick the best photo of the group and go with it?

Thank you very much indigoblues for a great question. I can only answer for myself but I was/am trying to show the personality of that particular bird. The first photo shows his hair/feathers smoothed out. The second shows a definite bad hair day, one shows him with his mouth wide open and another shows his yellow feet that a Snowy Egret has. For me each photo is a different aspect of this particular bird. Sure I could have shown just one photo but I ask you, which one? Each is different and I like them all.
I appreciate you stopping by,
Dennis

Were you wearing a funny hat or something, Dennis? She looks like she is laughing at you!

I seldom wear hats, even in upstate NY winters. If I have a hat on I am probably freezing.
I do see the photo you are talking about though. She may have noticed me constantly playing with my exposure compensation dial. Some days are easier than others when pure white objects are against dark rocks or water with the bright sun. 🤓
