This is a 13 second exposure. The only bird I’ve ever chased that you can do a 13 second exposure of is the blue heron. The tipoff that this is a long exposure is the way the water becomes kind of weirdly silky. This is a crop–obviously, I wish the background wasn’t so much in focus, and that the bird was isolated, but it’s hard to take wildlife photography after dark with no flash.
