photoartflightA Study In White
I was following this White Ibis when this Snowy Egret flew in. I was setup with a Sigma 300-800mm zoom which helped, so I could frame my subjects while they were interacting with each other. They just seemed to dance & prance around each other, not seeming to notice the other was there. Usually I use a little minus exposure compensation with white birds, but it was still early in the morning and a little dark. This time I used +0.33 exposure compensation with aperture priority after checking the histogram. This sequence only lasted a little over 2 minutes.

How lovely to have these two beautiful birds side by side. Great sequence!.
Thanks Carmen,
I was just watching the Ibis when the snowy flew in and made it more interesting.
