Sarus Cranes in India: GH4/MetabonesT-smart/Canon 400/5.6
7

4K frame captures of a male Sarus Crane's display from a week's recent birding adventure in India's Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. GH4 with Canon 400mm/5.6 lens, Metabones "T" Smart adapter enabling aperture control, S-AF and IS (not available in this lens) - 1040mm EFL in 4K mode due to the 2.3X crop factor! Captured in VLC played as ~10MB BMP files, cropped to 4/3 format and processed in PS.

Didn't use Photo 4K mode as the video clips will be part of a movie that includes the cranes' haunting territorial call. SS 1/125-250 to stop motion for stills. The whole display took only 4-5 seconds.

C & C appreciated.
