Great Egret: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — Certainly stalking mumminchog, and maybe grasshoppers too, in the marsh along the Bridle Path. The Great Egret manages to make even is stalk look elegant and graceful. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and assembled in FrameMagic. ISO 200 @ f6.3 @ 1/800th.
Great photos! I stumbled on your site while looking for pictures of bald eagles near Rogers Pond Park in Kennebunk. We’ve been staying nearby and walking our dog there every day. Someone told us there’s a nesting pair near there, and yesterday I saw one flying low up the river. Too fast for a photo but beautiful, as is your whole blog. I’m a retired optical engineer who worked for many years with optical design software. Zeiss was one of my favorite customers and I visited them many times in Oberkochen. I do miss the travel. We will be spending a lot more time in Kennebunk starting soon. Subscribed and looking forward to that and to exploring more of your photos (and Maine).
When you are settled, contact me at lightshedder@gmail.com and perhaps we can meet and share Zeiss stories, and some of the best local spots. I have seen and photographed the Roger’s Pond Eagles many times. They are most regular when the Mousam is frozen right up to the rapids. That has not happened in several years. 🙂
