Last Saturday I wen to a nearby flood plain for sunrise and to capture some fog photos. While I was doing this I could hear Brolga's (cranes) in the fog but by time the fog lifted I realised there was over 300 of them. They are so hard to photo as they wont let you get near. So a plan came to me which I carried out. The next morning I arrived early and walked into the fog to where they had been feeding before sunrise. I sat down and waited until they came. I couldn't see them but could hear them landing all around me with their unmistakeable mating call "Cordo, Cordo". As it became lighter their silhouettes appeared. I shot a few very soft shots before they realised I was there, so close to them. Although I didnt get the shots I had hoped for the experience was magnificent. I think I will do it again, just the sounds alone made my week. A few shots below.
