Lesser Sandhill Cranes

Another one from the refuge. This one was mastered in Dolby Vision and seems to work better when streaming on HDR monitors that have that functionality. It was a dark and chilly morning at the refuge, but without the heavy ground fog that we've been experiencing for the last month or so.

Great work Jim, I wish I had a refuge nearby with that much activity. Very smooth panning and zooming. Looks great on my 4k monitor.

Very cool Jim! Love all of the bird details, the flapping of the wings, etc.. I would suggest a little less panning. After 5 or 6 mins it was hard to watch. Maybe settle the camera in 1 spot for a minute, then pan. Let the camera sit for a minute, then pan. I wanted to enjoy the birds in the background but never could because whichever birds caught my eye would quickly pan out of view. I like the panning, just not so much of it in one video.

Thanks for your comments. I'm going to try and go back out tomorrow morning weather permitting. I'll put a few more still clips in the movie this time around. Good idea Jim!
