Can you believe this photo is a 3 exposure HDR image? I was actually able to get three similar exposure of this Great Blue Heron standing still with a fish in it’s mouth. It’s challenging enough to get a single sharp image. Even more amazing was the time when I took the photo. I shot the exposure 30 minutes after sunset, so you can image how long each exposure was. Not that it really need to be an HDR image but I found that the 3 exposures helped a lot to reduce noise. It’s no National Geographic shot but I’m impressed that I managed to get 3 perfect images for HDR!
