The following photos of an adult Striated Heron were captured on the Brunswick River at Brunswick Heads in northern NSW. The late afternoon winter light was falling directly on the subject however reflected light from off the River’s rippled surface was also bathing the Heron in soft faintly banded light. Both sources of light were absorbed and reflected back off the bird’s feathers producing richly coloured portraits of this stocky heron. Here are three of the images taken just before the bird took flight.
Please click on photos to enlarge.
Please note there has been minimal post photo processing to tweak colour saturation – the colour in the these images is as my eyes saw it in the field.
