Yesterday at a Pre Easter celebration I had the pleasure shooting Alicia. Wanting to travel light I packed my G1X, Photoflex OcotoDome NXT and a 580 EXII.

I woke up at 5AM this morning and could not go back to sleep so I decided to go outside and shoot a couple of photos with my new cameras. The Night Heron was shot on my Mark III at ISO 25,600.

Pican
Met up with Jim & Kelly for dinner at Pican. The meal was of course incredible. I loved my sorghum lacquered duck.
