I take a lot of nature pictures and quite often there are people asking where or if I have any shots of animals, which I rarely do. I spend majority of last week in the countryside and on one evening, right around the time of golden hour, I was walking back from the woods and saw a flock of cranes hanging in the field behind our house. They are there every day now and because the light was good, I though to give it a try and take a few shots of them.
I had the Sigma 50-100mm lens on my camera, so I couldn't get that close with it, and as I manually zoomed in, aka walked closer, I obviously scared the birds to flight. I'm definitely not an animal photographer, but I think I accidentally got a pretty nice set of pictures of the cranes taking flight. The quality of this Sigma lens is pretty awesome because I was able to crop the pictures quite a lot and still retain a sharp image.
So here you go, this is for the bird watchers who follow me.
This is incredible.
in a coincidence you were able to catch the 5 birdies all together in all photos. Keep it up

When I read “cranes” I was looking for the big, metal things, used for lifting heavy stuff. For me those are ducks 😂

Very nicely done. There is a birdtographer in you yet. You do capture nature beautifully and these will do nicely as portraits. Keepem coming sunshine girl.
