Another Bosque Shot

Gallery: AvianPosted December 16, 2013176 views8 comments

There have been a bunch of very nice Bosque Del Apache shots posted recently. Guess it is that time of the year!

Here's one I captured while co-leading our Bosque Workshop.

I like the almost monochromatic color balance of this image with the hints of the thistles below the crane.

5D Mark III
500mm f/4 with 1.4x TC
1/1600 @ f/5.6
ISO 800

Thanks for taking a look

Real nice light on this one. I agree about the thistles...I think they also add an interesting layer to this.

Right on with the thistles! Very nice with the crane flying towards you...I can almost feel the breeze of the wing beats as it passes you! Open bill is great, too. Very nice! Sharon

Keith, I'll add my "I like it with the thistles" and the shot of the crane approaching you. Great use of the flat light.

Nice one, Keith. The complimentary surroundings are an excellent aspect of this.

A wonderfully warm and peaceful image. Every element such as the thistle heads seem perfectly placed. I always like to judge an image on how I think it would look printed and I'll bet this one will be killer hanging on a wall.
