This sleeping Red-crowned Crane was photographed on a slow afternoon at the Akan Crane Center, Hokkaido Japan in sweet late afternoon light. I am now in a Tokyo hotel waiting to fly home tomorrow at noon. Funny thing is I land in Dallas same day 2 1/2 hours before I left!
Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the 1.4X III TC and the EOS-1D MIV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop off the snow: 1/800 sec. at f/11. Cropping was a challenge; see the full frame original in the next pane.
Don't be shy: all honest comments welcome.
