Title: Geese migration
Post by: leuallen on February 26, 2018, 01:21:36 am

It was just about sunset and I was driving into the sun. To my left I noticed a large cluster of black dots far off and seemed to be moving to my right. I pulled over in a farmers drive way to investigate further. The dots were moving and as they came closer I determined that they were geese returning north for the summer. Grabbed my EM-1.2 with PL 200-400 lens and began shooting. The light was low and it was difficult to see the geese because of low contrast. But I manged to get a few good shots. Here is the best one.

426mm EFL, 1/500 f10 (accidentally moved from f8), ISO 640

1540 geese +/- 3.26%. Want to count to prove me wrong? (g)

I like it, there is a nice poetic flow of sorts, against this light.
