Good afternoon everyone,
My name is Vu, newcommer at this forum, and bird photography is what made me in love with photography until today. I am living at Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.
I and my friends at Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam on arranging a fews for Sarus Crane (http://images.google.com.vn/images?hl=vi&client=firefox-a&hs=OVk&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&resnum=0&q=sarus+crane&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=VOeMS4-8G47W7APSzoyLBA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQsAQwAA) at Kien Giang, Vietnam (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Kien+Giang+Vietnam&sll=9.817329,105.185852&sspn=0.718535,0.810242&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=R%E1%BA%A1ch+Gi%C3%A1,+80,+Ch%C3%A2u+Th%C3%A 0nh,+Kien+Giang,+Vietnam&ll=10.018891,105.14328&spn=0.718093,0.810242&t=h&z=11) in around the end of next week.
I would like to ask for somebody who experience could have time please show me some tricks over for field guild to sneak and shoot these birds. This is my first time taking photo of these species, I have heard these kind of crane really hard to shoot, they got some very good pose while they sing or fight each other. For one of my friend, this is 2nd time, the 1st time he failed due to always flying away.
Some of photos I taken from internet.

This time I bring my gears :
Canon 40D - primary body
Canon 450D - 2ndary body
Canon 100-400mm f/4-5.6 + x2 Sigma Converter
Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro - just in case
Flash 580EXII + Extender
Normal lens for wide in case I failed the mission then I think I go for macro and landscape around :p
If you guy are staying at Vietnam or intend to travel Vietnam next, would love to have you guys join our group. A great journey await.
