Snow geese taking flight

Gallery: AvianPosted January 27, 2010170 views9 comments

This morning, Richard Bernabe and I were scouting for morning locations to photograph snow geese for our workshop starting tonight. This is one of the 400+ images that I took in a 2 hour time-frame. The most snow geese that I've ever seen in Pocosin National Wildlife Refuge, NC! BTW, this is my more artistic rendition. I have more and will post later.

Great artistic image here Jerry. Really shows what it is like when these guys all take off at one time. I can just here all the sounds now. I think the shutter speed was just right to show off all this motion. I also like what the bit of color at the bottom does. Nice work, like it alot.

I really like this. Has the dimension of palette knife applied oils.

Perfect combination of clarity and wild motion.
