Cranes at high speed

This is an example of two cranes moving at high speed. Notice the

streamlined configuration of the bodies. Your comments are most

welcome.

Nice sharp shot, Per.  I like it. That 7D is a great camera to nail the focus, isn't it?  I could easily see a lesser camera trying to focus on the background trees.  Good job!

What species of crane are these?

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for leaving a comment. I totally agree with your view, and I too was somewhat impressed by the fact that the camera kept focus on the object rather than on the busy background. The birds are Eurasian Cranes and I took the picture at Hornborgasjön a couple of weeks ago. Since then the numbers of cranes has increased from 4000 to 26000. From a photography point of view that is not an advantage because it makes it more difficult to isolate a few cranes in such a busy environment.

Best regards Per.
