A Sandhill Crane poses in the dawn light at Bosque del Apache NWR
This shot was taken a few moments after the sunrise shots from yesterday’s post, as the rising sun reached the water where the Cranes had spent the night. You can tell by the posture that this bird is not yet even thinking of getting up and way to the feeding fields. I love the quality of the dawn light.
Sony HX400V at 2400mm equivalent field of view. (1200mm optical plus 2x Clear Image Zoom). Shutter preferred. 1/640th @ ISO 800 @ f6.3. Processed in Lightroom on a Windows tablet.
