How to Photograph Japan’s Red Crowned Cranes
Heat [Music] up here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] All right, day one photographing the wildlife here in Hokkaido. Headed out to photograph the cranes. And uh it’s been an adventure trying to um get to my car. I’m parked like a kilometer away from the hotel. had to navigate all the way up through a parkade and stuff because the hotel’s official parking lot is full. But yeah, it is 4:47 right now. So, I got to get there early to get a spot. See how it goes. [Music] Okay. [Music] Okay, I thought I had overdressed, but apparently not. Um, I mean, my body is fine. I’ve got my ski jacket and long johns on and stuff, but a uh face covering would be nice. Uh, finished shooting at the bridge. Lots of people there. I got there at about 5:30 a.m. Uh, don’t get there any later than that cuz uh it filled up uh completely shortly after I arrived. So, now I’m going to head over to the sanctuary. I can barely talk. My face is very numb. Um, and see what we can get there. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
Join me on a quick adventure as I travel to Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido within the Tsurui area to find and photograph the endangered Red-crowned Cranes, commonly known as “Tanchō”.
