If you're not tired of cranes yet, how about these shots by an out-of-town photographer?
Posted on

Friday was opening night at the Sandhill Crane Festival, and
Christi and I took some out-of-town friends to see the show at the
Isenberg Reserve on Woodbridge Road.
Our guests Dean and Nancy Eckenroth own the Coronado Eagle &
Journal, a weekly newspaper.
Like all weekly newspaper people they are constantly alive for
news possibilities and they were the first ones to spot Conrad Tan
and his mammoth camera lens.
"That's a $10,000 lens — at least," said Dean. Christi and Nancy
talked to Conrad first and he proudly flipped through his shots on
his camera's digital screen. Although the sun was setting and the
birds were several hundreds yards away, he snapped dozens of great
shots.
At Dean's urging I asked Conrad to send us some for use in the
paper. He drove straight home to the Bay Area and sent me several
shots. I've pasted three of them here. Two will appear on the back
of the front section in tomorrow's Lodi News-Sentinel.
I asked Conrad in an e-mail to tell me about himself and his
trip to Lodi. Here's his reply:
"I'm an electrical engineer in San Jose and I live in
Benicia.
"I've been shooting as a hobby for two years. I first
photographed the cranes last year. I've done weddings and
landscapes but wildlife and particularly birds are my passion.
"My website if you are interested is www.conradtanphotography.com.
"Thanks for the opportunity, Marty!"
It's my pleasure, Conrad. Hope you enjoyed the festival.
