Well cabin fever is setting in and I am finding myself daydreaming about being out in the field taking pictures. Specifically I am dreaming about
Sandhill Cranes. These
magnificent birds will be coming to Kearney, Nebraska in a little over a
month. I go here a few days every year to get images of the cranes. Last year I got some of my best photographs of the them. But photography is like a drug and when you get a solid image it just makes you want to take more. That is where I am at right now siting at my desk just itching to get my photography fix filled. Here are a few images of the cranes from last year. These images were all taken within a two hour interval. The last picture is my favorite. I had been trying for three years to get a solid image of a crane dancing and playing with corn stalks and I finally nailed one last year. I would love to hear your
feedback on these images so let me know what you think.

Wonderful sandhill crane series Mike! It is indeed getting to be that time of year again. The detail in the wing of the 2nd shot is incredible. I love the simple, but elegant composition of #2 and of course, the last one is fantastic - you really nailed that one.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'll be going out on Apr 2 this year.
