Goose . . .

[RJSorensen]

Cleared for take off on runway seven . . . with a bright ten o'clock sun shining down on his wings, and a slight spray of snow and ice from that 'first' leap into the air, this one is off. Today was clean, clear and crisp and I am out looking for things that move. I am working on a new style for me of faster shutter speeds, regardless of how I have to do it. This goose was taken at f/10, shutter speed of 1250, ISO 200 and at a zoom length of 400mm.

20D/100-400

That goose had its flaps up and its gear down!

For your next trick, see if you can get it head-on.

Unlike Owls . . . and other certain people, geese fly away from me, not towards me Bob. However I did catch this break neck shot of this one and partner landing . . . a little on the long side, but how do they do that?

I like the way the wings are spread with the tips up, even if it is the backside of another bird.

Ouch . . . gosh, that hurt, lol.

Great shots on that first one looks as if he lost a little weight in the rump he might be able to take off a little quicker :lol: :lol:

Cool pics I really like the first one.

[RJSorensen]

Yes, the warm glow of the sun made his feathers a bit more brown that I usually see them . . . but that was fine. He does look a little chubby btw. I can't get over the 'bent' necks on the second shot, that must hurt.

Just some fun things to share . . . thanks as always.
