Sandhill Crane in Bosque

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

Hi All,

I start my Bosque trip and just go back from the morning shoot.

Sharing some of the images which I like. I wanted to use slow shutter speed and capture the flight of Sandhill cranes.
Next year I will try to photograph them with a bit of fall colors.


Nikon D500, 300mm f/4 +1.4x TCIII

Nice idea I wish the eye was defined a bit better. The crane had already passed you I’d try to get him when he is still anagled towards the camera

I agree with Arash. Better to have the bird coming towards you then it passing you by. Also the bird seems a bit blue. Rest of the scene is beautiful.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Great idea and almost there, hope you have some more!

[John Mack]

Nice concept wish the bird was more to the right. Good luck at Bosque.

Thank you all for the comments and Feedback.

I agree that image would have been better with the bird coming in, I might have some shots but did not complete go through the images from my first day at Bosque.

Some how I liked this one and posted the same.

I will try to get much better ones soon.

Krishna, what you are trying to do hear is going to take lots of tries with lots for fails... but the idea is excellent and if you can get a good frame, it will be truly wonderful. For me, the ideal shot will be with the head and main part of the body relatively sharp but the rest quite blurred. Definitely worth trying for and thanks for sharing this one.
