I Have To Leave Now

This black crowned night heron was a beauty. It's a rainy night tonight with lots of lightening so I've been processing some of the many bird shots from the past several weeks. I wish I knew how to capture lighting strikes across the high rise buildings -- it's really dramatic!
Update -- I decided to try for a lightning capture. It took about a half hour and one out of all the shots I took worked, but I'm very excited about it! https://365project.org/taffy/365/2022-05-21
Great sharp focus on his eye! Ditto about the lightening. One day.

Great capture! Don’t you put the camera on Bulb setting and leave the shutter open to catch the lightening? Mind you I have never tried it! 🤪🤪🤪
Just seen your image in FB - I think you nailed it!

@pamknowler Yes, that's how to do it, but I didn't think I stood a chance since there is so much ambient lighting that I can't use bulb -- only a second or two even at very low ISO. I stood at the window, though, and held the camera against it to steady it and just took a whole bunch of shots everytime the sky lit up. AND, I got ONE shot!!! Just processed and posted it, but now have to get some sleep! https://365project.org/taffy/365/2022-05-21
