Herron chicks - up close and personal

Hello,

There was solid cloud cover last weekend so I decided to turn one of my less-used scopes to good use.

I hooked up the Sky Watcher 100mm with FL of about 1000mm to the 20Da, balance it on the back of a chair and point it, from the ground, at the White-Faced Herron nest to get some shots of the rapidly growing chicks.

I wish i could get better saturation from the shots but didn't want to push the processessing too far.

Anyhow,

Here are some of the shots i thought were interesting, usually because of the cute "pose" they took.

I like 2, 3, 4 and 7 the best so far.

I didn't climb up on the roof for these i must admit...maybe this weekend coming.

hope you like,

Cheers
frank
