Shortly after arriving at Llano Seco Wildlife Refuge we were standing around listening to our guide talk about the area and the types of birds we might see here when someone spotted a flock of Sandhill Cranes flying toward us.
Thankfully I had my camera ready. I hadn’t yet decided I wanted my extender on it so this is a shot without it.
The forecast called for fog, low clouds, and no sun making for some rather dull back grounds I’m afraid.
I missed the Sandhill Cranes last year and hoped I’d see some this year. This felt like a gift from the skies seeing this flock fly by. A great beginning to the day.

Thanks for the thought. I’ll play with it. Might be a good rainy day project.

just had a nasty thought; crank the exposure until the sky is white. figure you’ll have brush-stroked outlines remaining. make a scroll out of it.
