1 and 4 are stand outs in an excellent set. As with everyone else, just WOW.

Gorgeous animal and photo's Tony. I especially like the second to last.

Thanks, Pete. The photo you mention along with the first photo are my favorites from this series.

Thanks very much, Rob. I was quite fortunate that this egret isolated itself from the flock I was photographing at the beach.

Wow! That is a wonderful set.

Hi Dave. This egret would hold each pose for several seconds. Even the first shot with the feathers in its bill, which lasted approximately 5 seconds! It was quite amazing.

Hi Milan. The photos you mentioned are my favorites, as well. Side-lighting remains my favorite type of lighting so I was quite fortunate in this case. Thanks for commenting!

A stunning set of images, Tony. All of them are worthy of space on the wall. The last image is my favorite (the reflection nails it).

What an amazing selection of photographs. What lens were you using?

We are going on holiday and I am taking a 5oo m/m telephoto and a 400 m/m fixed lens. debating if I should take one over the other . have a 2x tele-converter also.

HI Rhonda,
I'm glad you like the photos! This thread contains photos from various cameras, all fixed-lens models. For example, this recent set of images are from a Sony DSC-RX10 M3 and Sony DSC-RX10 M4, both of which feature a 24-600mm equivalent fixed-lens zoom. They are generally referred to as superzoom bridge cameras.

I enjoyed browsing your website!

Best,
Tony

I missed these when you first posted them, Tony. What a great set again. The Egret and the Osprey are both superbly set against their backgrounds and are fabulous shots. The two Cormorants though are just amazing. Fantastic lighting and what great composition you have created. One of your best I think, Tony.

Hi Pete,
Thanks so very much! Still happily clicking away here in California. I appreciate you leaving such positive comments. It's extremely inspirational.

Stunners Tony! Makes me want to buy an superzoom bridge camera, though I doubt I'd be able to emulate your skills.
