Last of the cranes. After sunset reflections; Crex Meadows, WI; October 15, 2022. After a few hours of shooting the hundreds of Sandhill Cranes flying in the roost for the night in the shallow marshes, it was time to head home. It was basically “after dark” when I saw this scene. I jumped out, snuck around the side of the van and snapped off a few photos until they got nervous. I didn’t think much about the shots and really thought that I would delete them but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them on the computer…Testament to the amazing sensors of digital cameras. [Canon EOS R5; Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM; 500mm; f/7.1 at 1/50 second; ISO 3200; handheld] #sandhillcranes #reflection #creativewildlifephotography #crexmeadows #canonr5wildlifeLeafy peephole to Trumpeter Swan pair (October 15, 2022); An intentional attempt at creativity since straight up swan portraits are pretty boring. Shot through some fall color at a pond just loaded with Trumpeters at Crex Meadows in Wisconsin. This took a bit of post processing work to bring out the colors and get the white balance right on the swans.

Five males are in hot pursuit of the female in the middle. Since the skies were gray and didn’t addd to the photo I blew out the whites to make this a high key photo.

Icebergs? Just big chunks of ice? What’s the proper term? Whatever they are called, the tundra is certainly my happy place [Sony A6500, mini tripod] #hudsonbay #hudsonbaymanitoba #churchillmb #churchillmanitoba #sparkystensaas #icebergsandpeopleShooting with Sparky Videos

I don’t even know how I ended up right here, but I
assumed this publish was once great. I don’t understand who you might
be but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger in
the event you are not already. Cheers!
