Birdwatching at Bob Woodruff Park in Plano TX (Dallas)

I spent the morning on Sunday walking around Bob Woodruff Park in Plano TX…and couldn’t be happier. I had my Canon 7D, Canon 400mm 5.6 L and my Induro CT314 tripod and set out to walk the park and watch some birds.

First thing I noticed after walking half-way around the lake was a couple of Great Blue Herons…..I chased them around for about 1.5 hours and I think I got a few good photographs…take a look and let me know what you think.

    Your photos are really great! I have got to try to save up for the 400mm 5.6!

  2. Danny says:

    These shots are professional looking shots, especially the first one. How much post processing are you doing?

    • Thanks Danny. The first shot has very little PP on it….the others have some change to color/contrast. All have some PP for tone/color/contrast and some sharpening.
