Description

I always seem to have the wrong lense on at the wrong time. While shooting some landscape at our local pond, the Canadian geese took their morning flight around the lake. I ran to the car and got the tele out just in time to catch them making their landing....dang it! Another day, another time perhaps! Thanks for having a little look see, and all your encouraging comments on my past images..A great holiday week to All! Aloha!

Well, the glass can be half empty but it's half full in my opinion! This is a fabulous capture and the landing of them is - for me - even more breathtaking than seeing them fly by! Excellent work, love it! The right moment, the right place, well, you shot this and you've nailed them! Yay! :)

well, I think a synchronized landing makes a better picture than just capturing them flying around! []/;^)

Sounds like you need an additional camera body (wink). Great shot nonetheless!

This is wonderful - several landings in different phases! I really like the colors on the water - a pretty blue in the foreground and more greenish tones in the background :)
