Amazing shot. The ones I have I tracked the bugger for an hour and still couldn't get this quick a shot on launch...excellent work!

It does. My second day of using it though and I had forgotten how to use all the settings, so a bit slow on the uptake.

I waited for him to take off and I fired off as many shots as I could, I think your xsi has 3 fps just like my camera ?

Great shot, it must've been hard to take the picture I can't take shots of birds, they can never stand still -.-

And by the way, I love the waves in the background and the spurt of water behind its legs ^w^

Herons are big and slow moving when they fish so I just waited for him to fly away and I was fairly close and the lighting at that moment really helped.

So you're blaiming luck, huh? I'm pretty sure it's a big portion of skills involved, too ^w^

Seeing this means a lot to me, as the Blue Heron was my grandmother's favorite bird - and she did love birds. She passed away very recently.

Excellent shot. I find the full-sized photo somewhat small, but that's much better than it being ridiculously oversized. The overall blue of the picture is nice and relaxing. Good stuff!
