Pack ’em in!

The next morning we went to a pond and jackpot! It seemed all the birds were there sleeping. These early birds were taking off to feed.

Sunrise Silhouette

Another project we undertook was taking silhouettes of moving objects.

Sandhill Cranes Are HUGE!

These birds are chest high. It’s amazing that they can even fly.

I went to Bosque del Apache NM to study under Lisa Langell a brilliant creative photographer. One of our tasks was to learn how to shoot in “high Key” where you deliberately make the background completely white to separate your subject.

Frozen birds in Bosque del Apache

Note the bird on the far right is still frozen in the pond.

Also note that it was 17 degrees and said photographer was also frozen in place. It’s VERY hard to control your settings when it’s nearly pitch black and you can’t feel your hands!
