When Things Don't Go As Planned

While visiting a local state wildlife refuge and photographing these three Sandhill Cranes I decided that the first image would look better in a vertical form .... Check out what happened next .... After I flipped my camera from horizontal to vertical




Of course they decide they need to leave .... A take-off shot would have been nice .... in horizontal !!!

There is an easy answer to ensure this doesn't happen again, make sure you throw down some superglue so they can't move :) :) :)

I can almost hear their conversation, "Hold it, he changing to vertical, ready, now GO". :P

Been there, done that:lol: Here's the opposite situation: catatonic animal. I spotted this herring gull on the jetty at Fisherman's Wharf, with a nice background, and crept up stealthily. No need. He sat there for a good five minutes, without stirrig a feather, enjoying the photographer's frustration. But there was a remedy. I backed up a couple of steps, moved forward with a whoop, and snapped.:)
