Miles Manning at Chapoquoit Beach on November 27, 2018
Miles again
Yesterday, I went to Chapoquoit Beach because it was windy and I thought I might find some surfers. Miles was the only one in the water. There were two other surfers there, Ryan and Hanu, but they decided it was too cold to go in.
I’ve been more interested in trying to photograph Great Blue Herons for the past few weeks. Not too much luck with that yet. I can’t get close enough to get a really good shot. I did capture this Heron a few days ago while out at Little Island Beach. I was using an Olympus EM1 MK2 with an Olympus 300 mm prime lens, which is the equivalent of a 600 mm lens. The shot was handheld.
I’d been out at Little Island for about two hours and decided there wouldn’t be any Herons that day. I walked back to my car and loaded my camera gear into the back. As I was closing the door the bird flew into the pond. He stayed just long enough for me to get my camera out and snap a few shots.
