I was working this morning and looked out the window to see a Great Blue Heron sitting on top of my neighbors roof. By the time I had grabbed my camera and put on a long lens, the heron was ready to hit the skies. So I was just able to fire off a few shots before it quickly moved out of sight.

I am constantly amazed at my cameras’ technical abilities. I invest a lot of money trying to provide my clients with the very best equipment because of the challenging situations we often find ourselves in when shooting wedding photography. It definitely pays off, and they appreciate it. This shot was taken from inside my house, through a low-e glass window that hasn’t been washed in years (I can’t believe I am admitting that publicly!), through a screen, at 100 yards from the subject on an overcast day, handheld.

Try that with your Canon Rebel, Uncle Bob.
