Below are the words of the original photographer describing this moment :
" here is a photo taken with my favorite natural lighting condition and subject… yeah, the precious & gorgeous golden lighting at sunrise with those translucent back-lighted wings.
before shooting this frame, those little egrets were flying with an incredible synchronism, together all the time, quite like an egret carrying a mirror aside; many times they were showing off some incredible maneuvers right in front of my nose. frustrating for me, because the fact was happening at very near time of dawn and i hadn’t sufficient light to click the shutter. increasing iso for more than 400 would give me too much granulation in the entire composition and the use of flashlight *even with a diffuser* most probably would be disastrous. it was hard to remember constantly that they were wild, they could get scared easily and pluff… disappear in a blink of an eye.
I was lucky, they came back later on and eventually, i got this shot. controlling lens flare was a bit difficult but my crew were very cooperative, they promptly answered my request of *don’t move, be quiet, no breathing and heads down* and I could maneuver my big lens comfortably."
