Description Canada geese are a big favourite of mine to photograph, great colours and markings and allways plenty of action to capture. I think of this kind of manouver as handbraking or dropping anchor both extreme ways of slowing down
and scrubbing off speed.

This seems to be going around quite a bit for people, The same thing happened to me, I didn't send this to you, someone must have hacked me and sent it.

So far everyone who this gets sent to, has sent this to someone else without their knowing... ya may want to message an admin about it or somethin.

This has to be the BEST landing goose shot I have EVER Seen. The detail and light on the wings is perfect!

They never come in to land towards me lol.

the only thing that would make this better is if the other goose was not it the frame.

Yes i agree, it is slightly distracting. i have thought of taking it out but i don't like to mess with the shots

It reminds me of a heraldic crest the way the wings are bent at right angles and the feet are splayed.

I love this one Dave, it is unbelievable, how you get all that action and we can even see Goose tongue!!! The detail is unbelievable. Brilliant my friend, just brilliant I love the wings, from this perspective the my look like perfect angel wings! I would love to have a shot like, but I shall just have to love yours instead! Bravo

All that was missing was the screatching of tires LOL how fast he slammed the brakes on yes the tongue thinking about it now and looking back at other shots like this and landing the tongue
is out in nearly all of them really, Probably shouting Move i can't stop

Zarafa In reply to THEDOC4 [2007-02-23 22:24:54 +0000 UTC]

That seriously made me Dave! I would love to see them. As you know, out at one spot of mine in winter I saw Magpie Geese which are pretty awesome (but ugly really!) but they only stay in two spots and both are too far from where you can get (clever birds!). They are amazing when they come into land too! Your photography is so brilliant.

THEDOC4 In reply to Zarafa [2007-02-24 15:26:34 +0000 UTC]

Well talking about the tongues LOL i got a few more today. you know me once i see a trend i pick it out and try and capture just that part. very interesting and quite funny really. bit miffed as the light
was very poor so i was very limited. But i have something to work from and im looking very forward to trying again.
