I was at the island of Ameland when I saw the light becoming soft and orange in the evening. I often prefer photographing against it rather than making use of the light to lit the subject. I capture silhouettes and use the sky or the reflection on the water to create a dual-toned photo. In this case, a Grey heron was fishing in the water, that was completely without ripples due to the absence of wind. I anticipated the moment of ‘darting’ and took some shots with continuous shooting at high speed. The little explosion of water, with the sun reflected, makes this photo special.

Cheers,
