Description

Sitting on a bench I suddenly hear some flying birds approaching, flying above the water. How fast can one take one's cam, put it on a tripod and put the telelens on it? With an old SLR cam without autofocus I must have had 1 or 2 seconds to point and shoot. What a joy when I got my developed slides back! No surprises with modern technical equipment anymore, autofocus lets you point and shoot instantly and you can see the result immediately on your little lcd-screen! But... there's still the joy of shooting those birds and I'm glad to meet many talented photographers here on RR who shoot those birds perfectly!

Awesome shot. This is beautiful. Is it just me or does it seem that Geese like to travel in groups of four. -Peace :-)

I think I would have paid money to see your pre shot action :) - I luv these shots and this is great - For me I get alot of blue sky shots - Some times I feel like a dog chaseing a light trying to follow thier flight - and sometimes in I get lucky :)
