Japanese Cranes
by Marsel van Oosten
This shot was taken on Hokkaido, Japan. This river is where some of the local cranes spend the night. I visited the place a couple of times, hoping for optimal conditions, and on one morning I saw this. It was terribly cold and the relatively warm water caused this wonderful mist that immidiately froze the moment it came into contact with the surrounding trees.
Equipment: Nikon D2Xs, AF-S VR 200-400/4.0, 1.4x TC, 1/500 @ f/13, ISO 400, tripod, lots of warm clothes
