THE FOCAL POINT

With the digital revolution, we have been able to capture every moment, quickly and relatively at a low cost. Whereas in previous generations we were required to use film, make prints, and archive those prints in albums and frames like our parents and grandparents before us, now the most photographed generation, rarely sees a print.

I couldn’t get over the massive size of it as it stood in the wide open staring at our car. I was in awe. I quickly grabbed my gear from the back, adjusted my manual settings, quietly got out and started snapping away. I got a few great shots but they couldn’t compare to what I was going to capture next…

As luck would have it, my patience paid off and without warning, the heron appeared out of the mist and landed 20 feet in front of me! It was surreal; just me, my camera and this beautiful bird posing for me!
