I recognized what you meant by the title...having been around so many ultra light crafts and folks who soar down hills without motors...Super nice Ivan. You sound a bit like me in search of the sun or sunny day...Jane and I do the same...Have a good Easter...I am off to Mass...

Hi Ivan,

Excellent shot of these four flying in formation. Amazing how much detail you managed - the wings are magnificent. You took good advantage of a sunny morning. I found your notes extremeley interesting.

Hi Ivan,
you are lucky to have the cranes already in Skåne.
We will have to wait a long time before they show up here.
Well exposed with good sharpness and fine details.
Well done,mf.

Ivan,

Nice inflight, and the note, 4 In one shot is difficult to do. I see a similar bit of noise around the birds and have to same difficulty. Can anyone explane this?

Well done,

Scott

Hello Ivan
This is just amazing to get this group stacked as you have.
All have their primaries clawing for any signs of rising heat...The iso isnt a problem at all..It is so difficult to set for every situation unless you have a neck full of cameras!!
All the best

merhaba dear friend Ivan,
sorry I couldnt visit your last posts. As you know, I was in field.
Today, I observed shortly big migration of the bird in either along roads and Belen Pass near Hatay prov in Southern Turkiye.
As you know, this is one of the most important routes for migratory birds. By the way, they can find useful thermal and migrate from Europe and Turkiye to Africa and come back in same route.
In last week, I also saw first crane of this year (for me) in our campus (Akkaya Dam Lake).
Your post excellent. Title, notes, focus, blue BG and composition wonderful. POV and timing also great. Thanks for sharing
best wishes my friend

Very good shot of these migrating Cranes!
These birds look very impressive in flight.
Great detail in the feathers and superb sharpness.
Brilliant composition too.
Informative note.
Did you use the 300mm f/4 and 1.4x converter?

Cheers Ivan,
Joe

Hi Ivan,

Great capture of the four Cranes flying. Good details and composition. So they have already arrived in Sweden. It always makes you wonder what is the hurry to come early when they still have difficulties to find food. Good work.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Ivan,
Wonderful shot of these four buddies gliding across. Very neat and sharp image with superb lighting and colours. The blue sky makes the image look majestic. Nice illustration of their flying patterns and use of optimum wind energy. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

I envy all the guys and gals on TN who manage to take pictures of flying birds, Ivan. Whenever I have tried to do it, I have ended with blank frames; the birds seem to be too fast for an old man's reflexes -- that's how I console myself.
This is a wonderful capture with four of them together and not even one out of focus. Good reflexes there!
The blue sky provides a great background here.

Minus 10 is terrible weather at this time of the year; hope the sunshine stays with you from now on.
Regards.

A rare occurrence to behold in such a limited part of the sky Ivan, you captured these soaring birds with stationary wings expertly, as usual, my friend, there is no movement, but still, a strong dynamism is evident in this composition. Thanks for sharing this interesting scene with us my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Ivan.
What a beautiful quartet you have pictured. I am impressed with crisp sharpness of the image of each bird, excellent exposure, wonderful colours and, of course, wingspread and poses. Perfect exposure parameters and freezing of the scene. Bravo.

Hello Ivan

An interesting capture of these cranes flying in formation.
The skies are beginning to fill with northbound migrating birds here too.
The focus is sharp and crisp.
Interesting POV.
