Great Blue Heron - Crissy Field Marsh - San Francisco

400mm · f/8 · 1/100 sec · ISO 100

My wife and I recently escaped for a weekend in San Francisco with one clear goal: spending time behind the camera, chasing light and moments. I’m excited to share a series of images from the trip here on Fstoppers.

First up is this Great Blue Heron, gracefully wading through Crissy Field Marsh. It was early morning, and the lingering fog added a quiet, ethereal feel. I processed this shot in Capture One as a black-and-white, high-key fine art portrait.

I like the abstract and minimalistic approach.

Thanks Juergen for the like!
I was definitely going for that with the edit, but with the overcast fog, it really lent itself to that style.
