Have you ever wondered how snow storms really get started? Snow storms start simply at 1st and build in intensity from there. Allow me to illustrate.....
Oh yeah Ken and I shouldn't go out and try to capture the "snow storm"? Too funny. I did head out but they didn't want to play nice. Well as it turns out it is just as well, 1,2&5 are the shots I wanted and I am sure these would have blown mine away! Great job! Really dude they are nice. Yes the cranes are nice also, I still haven't seen this in real life, it must be interesting to say the least. Very nicely done indeed.
Holy sh*t dude that's a lot of snow in #5
Now, what I wanted to know is how you choosed THAT EXACTLY bird to focus in #4 wow talking about precision AF
Heck I don't wanna know what those 3 were doin' AFTER you took the shot
Great set zoomy w some super clean files...I like your PP style brotha'! nice & smooooth
Oh Mr ZOOMeeeeeee........................I will share the educational part of this post with my grandchildren as I am sure the visuals will make it quite a memorable experience Very well presented with pleasing color balance and crisp clean files of the snow birds
You sure took great advantage of the sandhill stage, those look so well with the surrounding colors and I do like how the raised area they were shot on lends nicely to the dropped and distant BG giving a great deal of depth and a very pleasing BG warmth. I like the framing on the last shot and as a nit it might be a titch light compared to the other perfect ones

Hi Tim,
By the time I got out to BDA the Snow G. where there in good numbers and they gave me several high density flock shot opportunities. Unfortunately I was shooting with the 500 which made capturing the magnitude of the events somewhat limitiing. Probably should have put on the 100-400 so I could Zm out and capture more
Plenty of photo ops on the SHCs, too, in case anyone hasn't noticed

Nello,
When you are faced with shooting opportunities like this you don't have time to think about composing your shots. You draw on your experience and your instincts and just blast away. There is always at least of goose who is willing to fly into the perfect position to let you get the perfect picture
With regards to what the three were doing afterward I won't elaborate, but it concluded with a couple of cigaretts and a short nap
