Dear Andy and friends,
Now it is the peak of the migration season here (Hula valley, Israel), and it is a birdwatcher heaven.
Among many others, a big flock of Cranes arrives every evening for the night sleep.
Just after sunset the air is crowded with thousands of birds, and they are in the air till darkness. Today the moon will be full, and it is an amazing sight: all the birds flying while in the background the moon is rising over the ridge.
I intend to try save this moment in a picture. Can you please help me to define the right setting (I'm using CP4500 and Fieldscoop 60 II ED + WA30X lens).
Since the combination of migration season + full moon + moonrise just after sunset + moon in the right position + clear sky + free time is very rare, actually
just few minutes every year, I don't have the privilege of trial and error.
I guess the birds will be seen as a dark figurs in any setting, so it is not a pure birdwatcher quastion, but I hope you still be able to help.
Thanks,
Ido
