Egrets
Flying out of tree

The egret was photographed at a San Diego lagoon in April about two hours before sunset. A number of egrets had congregated in several trees and were quite active.
The white color of the egrets causes the camera light meter to incorrectly determine exposure. In this case, I was lucky that there was enough back ground in the shot to render a correct exposure. A majority of images were incorrectly exposed due to the predominant amount of white in the frame. This problem can be solved with a spot meter if you are only shooting egrets.
