Wild Hog - Near Aransas NWR, Texas I was set up in a pop-up blind near a deer feeder on a private ranch that a family of Whooping Cranes were recently frequenting. I got my shots of Whooping Cranes, which would have been enough, but then a family of wild hogs came rambling in for the free buffet. This is the matriarch of the group. She brought in about 11 piglets and 2 adolescent boars. Apparently, she felt I should have set up somewhere else. She would advance and withdraw. A couple of tense moments, since there was no place for me to go if she got ticked. Full frame with top cropped to get 4x5. Canon 1DmkII; 500mm; Gitzo; pop-up photo blind ISO: 400 Mode: Manual with incident meter for 1/320 sec @ f/8 Flash: Canon 550EX with BB; Flash exp comp: -3 (for catch-light) [b]Wayne Nicholas[/b]
