Title: Full fan Friday..... (pic)
Post by: eorlando on April 12, 2019, 07:04:14 AM
Full fan Friday..... This shot was at 1/30 of a sec and ISO1250. About the best I could do with with the minimal light when he came in 5 minutes before sunrise. Shot with a D500 and 200-500mm lens. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/9ecb9cc740e216fcf8f17cc6196f3e16.jpg)

WOW! The fan seems transparent with the lighting. Was the sun coming up behind him? VERY cool :z-guntootsmiley:

Do you pretty much hunt the turkeys you post these pictures of set up call etc then shoot them with your camera instead of a gun. Your picture s are great!

Incredible pictures, do you have a web site or somewhere else you post pictures? Would love to see the full shot of him. Great eye for capturing the beauty of  nature. Would like to see all the pictures you take just to get that 1 shot. Thanks for sharing.

Eric, your skills are increasing.  Did Randy inspire you, or were you already doing this?  I definitely think you should be submitting these to NWTF.  I see a cover photo for you in the future.

Thanks Larry!!!! I have been taking pics for about 5 years now. I originally got started so I could take pictures of my dog retrieving ducks. Then I got into taking duck pictures. Last year was my first year taking pictures of turkeys. I actually have two pictures that are going in Wildfowl magazine this month and one in Ducks Unlimited

Very cool.   Your efforts are showing.  I know it is not an insignificant investment in time and money as well.
