Black and White Heron

Jun 19

Photographer: Willi Wingelsdorf

This picture was taken during our summer holiday in the US. When we were in Washington I had a little bit of time to go to Huntley Meadows Park. There were not many birds, but I found this blue heron sitting on a dead tree. As the sun set, the last light hit the dead trees and the forest behind was already in shade. It made for a very nice minimalist shot.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began. In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
