Getting close to a fishing Egret

[Romy Ocon]

I got close to this migrant that was wading and fishing in the shallow water of one of the fishponds at Sto. Tomas earlier this afternoon. It's not in the air, but I treated it like a BIF just the same - fast shutter speed to freeze the action, AI servo to follow the motion, and burst shooting to increase the chances of catching the peak moment. I cropped to 16:9 to try to strengthen the comp.
