(Sandhill Crane) Bosque de Apache, New Mexico
This is intended to be about a month long series of images from my two weeks at Bosque. My intent is to make the images flow as though they all occurred during a single day. Of course, they occurred during the two weeks I was there. This is the thirteenth post of the series. The good news is that we are up to 7:20 AM after only a baker's dozen posts. Most of the images you see from just after sunrise were taken at the crane pool. My last shot, taken at the farm deck, proves sometimes you simply have to take some chances. This one was taken from the Coyote Deck. Chas wanted to vary where we were each morning so that we'd have a variety of images to work with. I had been shooting landscapes of a pool of water in the distance when this guy decided to fly by at just the right angle. It even brought a chunk of ice with it. I was considering flipping the image for display but I decided I'd show it the way I took it. I'm just happy that I was shooting at 400 ISO and that the shutter speed wasn't too slow. I think I would have rather been at F11 or F8 but you can't have everything. I'm am happy about the open bill right at the right time though. Tripod/Wimberly mounted Nikon D2H, 600mm AFS, ISO 400, Aperture Priority, 1/250 @ F16. Cropped about 5%, from the bottom and right. Tony
