Thanks Arnold. I have seen a lot of Sandhill Cranes this winter, almost always on the ground. If I watch them long enough they begin to take on the aspect of large flightless birds and I wonder how the heck they can fly. Your beautiful photo reminds me of just how elegant they are in the air. Thanks again, great post.

Actually that is an adult Heron in the nest. The heron in the nest is keeping this unwanted male from landing in this nest. This action has been going on for several days. Thanks for your comments, Arnold

This past week I went to the Viera Wetlands and Moccasin Island to photograph birds in flight.

For the Tech Geeks -
A Nikon D300S with a Nikon 70-200mm f-2.8 VR lens and a 1.4X Nikon Teleconverter was used to capture all these images. I used Lightroom 3 to do all my post processing.

I would appreciate your feedback and critique on these photos.

Flash verses contuinuous lighting

Lockdown, If you have relative fancy DSLR, than you should have two EV settings one for your normal exposure and the other that controls you flash power. The flash power control (EV) actually controls how much power you will allow flash to be increase or decrease by for a given situation. I hope this answers your question? Arnold

On your camera are the settings the same like iso, shutter speed, and F stop. When using flash verses coutinuous lighting. I can't seem to get it in my head that thay would be the same. I would think so ?
