For now this is just a montage of shots from my first time out to shoot the cranes - I will be going out more later in March to pull together enough shots to make a mini documentary that tells a story.
This was shot on my Red Epic with a canon 400mm f/5.6 - the slow motion is at 120fps. I know it isn't your typical post here, but just consider it a lot of stills in a row in the same box rather than a giant long post, hah!
Hope you enjoy it - being from Nebraska I don't have much to be proud of, but this is one thing I can't help but want to share. And make the trip to come out and see the migration for yourself, you won't regret it.
Wonderful video Kyle. I have coffee table books of great still images of the migration, but this video transports the viewer right to Nebraska. I'm sending the link to everyone I know. Laurie
Kyle: We're heading up to Kearney one week from today. It will be our first trip to this location although we've been to Monte Vista, CO and Bosque del Apache, NM several times to see the cranes.
What are your recommendation regarding location? We see the various blinds are available as well as some other tours. Should we invest in a blind or are there locations suitable for video and still photography without the blinds? I shoot with Canon lenses from 100-400 to the 500 plus TCs.
Another question. Which is better for good light, evening or morning?
Thanks for any help. I've forwarded the link to your fantastic video to all the bird lovers of our acquaintance. It's truly a fine and inspiring work of art. Thank you for posting it.
