I was pleased to have an opportunity to image Sandhill Cranes again. This image was taken shortly after sunrise but represented a better session than the last time I imaged these birds in Colorado as the sun set. This is one of the few times I shot my 500mm lens at prime focus without an extender. Taken near Haines City, Florida. Aperture Priority, 1/160th second at f/4; ISO 320, 500mm focal length, camera on tripod
