Maroon Bells Panorama, near Aspen, Colorado
Snowy Egret photographed at Brazoria NWR

The original photograph was a slide taken on Fuji Velvia at 40 ISO.  The image was slightly underexposed by 1.5 stops so the white in the egret would not burn out.  I was in a blind next to the pond using a Nikon F100 and Nikkor 400mm f3.5 lens.
It's sundown on the Firehole River, and there is just enought light for one more cast.  You look around at what God has created; the landscape, the animals, sunsets and sunrises and wonder how anyone cannot believe?

This photo was taken on the Firehole River in Yellowstone National Park at sunset in mid-September.  I had set up the camera and tripod to take a photo of the sunset on the river.  When the fly fisherman worked his way into the photo, I waited until he was at the "power point" and took this image.

I entered the photo in the St. Luke's Episcopal Hospitall, Texas Medical Center photography contest in 2001 and it chosen as "Best of Show".  In addition to the $150 prize, it hangs in the Debakey Heart Institute along with other years winners.

On a birding trip to Bay City, Jay Mangum and I spotted this unfolding photo as we headed south on FM457 to San Benard NWR.  Out came the cameras and tripods producing this image.
