I grabbed the 24-105 from my Xtrahand Vest and went to work to take advantage of the lovely pinks and blues opposite the sunrise on a clear morning.  I saw the lovely arrangement of birds as I was setting up and was glad that I worked fast enough to get this lovely juxtaposition.  The three cormorants that swam into the scene were an added plus. <\/p>\n<p>When hand holding in low light conditions I like to work in Tv mode, select a fast enough shutter speed, and dial in the exposure compensation. Since I have set ISO safety shift on all of my bodies the camera will set the needed ISO.  Here I should have chosen a much slower shutter speed to allow for a much lower ISO.  As taught to me by Denise Ippolito I used a layer of Filter\/Blur\/Surface Blur at 3\/4\/0 to smooth the background. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=center>\n<p>This Snowy Egret image was created with the hand held <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/732108-USA\/Canon_4411B002_EF_300mm_f_2_8L_IS.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA30028LIS2\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA30028LIS2\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EF 300mm f\/2.8L IS II USM lens<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/847545-REG\/Canon_5260B002_EOS_5D_Mark_III.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE5D3\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5D3\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body<\/a>.
