Great Egret and Perth Skyscrapers
international copyright law and may not be used without the written permission of Michael Willis.
A Great Egret (Ardea Alba Modesta) on the shores of the Swan River with the neon lights of Perth's skyscrapers reflected in the dark water. As dusk enveloped the river, the egret was drawn towards the bright lights under the Narrows Bridge that enabled him to fish long after the sun had set. After watching the egret for sometime, I noticed that every few minutes it would walk to the shore and stand still for a few seconds. As I did not have a flash with me, I had to wait until the egret went about his now familiar routine until I was eventually able to press the shutter and capture the egret in a perfectly still pose for the duration of the one second exposure. For me, this image is all about wildlife's adaptability and ability to thrive despite the city's encroachment on their natural environment.

While the prints available on this website only represent a tiny fraction of my work, I am continuously adding many more new and older images to a my 'Photographs by Date Gallery' at pbase.com. I create images on a daily basis, so if there is a date without a photograph, I most probably will have one but have yet to add it to the gallery. The majority of these images are open edition prints with prices starting at $90.
