During my Attwater’s Prairie Chicken project I went out 1 afternoon to shoot some B Roll. While out looking, I came across this crop duster working a field so I stopped to grab some shots while getting in some panning practice. Well, he made a number of passes on the field (frame#1) and than went off to refuel. He came back and made a couple more passes when he spotted me. Well, than the show began. He made these huge banks (frame#2) up into the forming thunderheads between runs and started to make runs closer and closer to me. The last couple of passes were right down the lens barrel, very cool. He went overhead and I waved thanks, he waved his wings and than went right down the hwy on the deck. I turned around to get this shot which still makes me chuckle. Life is good when there’s a camera in your hand!
