Shot this in late morning light—though you wouldn’t guess it.
I have been playing with underexposure techniques so I dialed the exposure way down to let the shadows do the work. suddenly the heron felt like a sketch in charcoal, not just a bird on log.

Still, composed, and somehow more visible in the dark.

It’s always surprising what shows up when you take the light away.

Alt Text: A high-contrast black-and-white photograph of a heron, dramatically lit from the side, standing poised on a branch against a near-total black background. The composition emphasizes the bird’s elongated neck and fine feather details, especially where light grazes the contours of its back and breast, creating a luminous edge that carves its silhouette from the darkness. The heron’s head is slightly turned, eye catching the light with a sharp glint, imparting a sense of still vigilance. The chiaroscuro effect evokes classical portraiture, imbuing the image with a quiet intensity and reverence for the subject’s natural elegance. The photograph merges natural history with fine art, inviting the viewer to meditate on form, shadow, and the silent dignity of wild creatures.
