Call Me Mr. Egret

Objective:
Use camera's flash.

About Photo
This Great Egret inhabits the pond in our community. The pond is a very dark greenish color but thanks to using a fill flash the background changed from ugly to beautiful. I can even see a hint of light reflection in his eye. Personally I am thrilled with this photo and never would have thought of using fill flash in such a situation before this class. The bird did not seem to be bothered any more by the flash than by photos taken without the flash.
