The blue in the water is breathtaking.
Aren’t so lucky to have the technology to capture these wonderful creatures.
Come see a cousin of your friend…

Awesome shot! How long did you need to ‘camp’ there to capture a shot like this? I was trying to catch a few shots of crabs along the shoreline the other day and in order for me to get close to them, less than a metre, I had to squat down motionless for at least 5 minutes or more. But too bad, I only had my Sony Ericsson camera phone and thus the shot did not turn out well.

Hey there BK – I didn’t camp, really. It was a tour boat from Tarpon Bay Explorers on Sanibel Island, Florida. The boat stopped near a clump of mangroves so we could observe the egret. It was the first time I’ve seen a reddish – I dunno, they must be shy or maybe I’ve just never been in the right place at the right time. Anyhow, I did have to wait some for her to come out of the shadows of the mangrove, but the boat captain was kinds and in no hurry

I really like this shot. Looks like you just caught him sneaking out.
To answer your question, I can’t tell you how I actually get the water to look like that. I just take the shots.
I’m just learning to play with the manual settings when I have time to stand there and do it. But when I play with the shutter speeds I’ve learned it affects how much light I have so I have to play with more than one setting. I say just play with your settings. The more you do it the more you’ll learn exactly what they do.
