Description
I saw hundreds of crains in the swamp one day. They was too far to get any good shots. All was in trees it looked wild. I thought it was bug pods at first but this crane came flying close to me and I got this shot off. one of the best ones of him in a tree.
I took this with my 35 mm film camera with a 200 lens with a 2x thing on it to make the 200 lens into a 400. Best I got.
Guess you bird shoots would have thrown this shot away. It no where close to the birds I saw here on Rend.
I getting no ebots here even my ebots on comments is gone lol. got to fly by the sit of my pants here
thanks you all. I just doing the best I can with what I have. I got the camera set on auto here. It means just the F stops is auto. I have to focus on my own.

Nice one Jocko! Did you use a tripod to steady things with that net 400ml lens? I know I would never get that clear of shoot without some sort of steady rest, but then I do not even have a lense that big. Keep up the cool work!

Dear Jock, I had most of Saturday and all of Sunday off from flight training and planned on doing some studying and relaxing a bit - maybe even a couple of naps!! Instead Ive spent the whole time catching up on office stuff!! My dumb cell phone bill is probably going to be as high as the national debt!!!! Anyway - Im running a little behind on things here at Renderosity, but I hope to catch up by morning!!! While Im on vacation and doing pilot training, Im going to need to continue doing a lot of cut and pasting with just a tiny little real comment added!! Im really sorry, but I just dont have much time right now to write my usual wacko stuff! Ill be back on March 3rd!! I think ti turned out really well!!! I'm really surprised to se it up in the tree like that. Around here, I don't think I've ever see them except on the water or on the gorund. Super nice work with the contrast between the bird's white and the bark and sky!!!! Love ya!!! Meredith
