After a great experience down in Ennis shooting bluebonnets I was itching to get back out again. It had been more than three years since I'd been up to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, which was far too long!
The forecast called for about 50% cloud cover at sunrise this past Sunday -- potentially great conditions for a sunrise shot. Unfortunately, the forecast got the clouds wrong by about 100%. There was some interesting morning mist, but by the time I found a spot I liked and got set up it had already pretty well burnt off.
Because of my lens flare issues I've started trying to get a good shot of sunrise right before the first rays actually appear. I've been pretty happy with the results so far.
On this morning I was even fortunate to get a shot with rays and barely a hint of lens flare! So, two wins. :)
The skittishness of ducks still annoys me. I saw plenty this day, but this shot of a pair of Blue-winged Teals is sadly the best one I got.
The Snowy Egrets were more abundant and more accommodating. I love the serenity of this one.
