Great Blue HeronI captured this image of a Great Blue Heron in a field near my home recently, with my new Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II USM lens. I knelt down for this shot and was able to show the watering system in the background which gave more of a hint of the environment, which I really like. I used a shallow DOF so as to throw that background out of focus and let the bird stand out, rather than blending into the field in which it was standing. (I also added a tad more blurring in Adobe Lightroom 5) Kneeling also got me down to the bird's level for a more intimate perspective. If you would like to order this image as a print or just see it larger in my online gallery, CLICK HERE!
Do any of you have this lens or have you had a chance to use one? If so, what do or did you think of it? Please let me know in the comments.
