Milwaukie geese

The other day we were driving into this shopping center when suddenly a goose sauntered into the road in front of us and stopped traffic in both directions. It was so big I had to ask what it was ;-). So we went back the next day and found that quite a number of them hang out at the shopping center. The light contrast was pretty extreme here, unfortunately.

Oh, I like this very much. How funny that the geese hang out there. Great shot, Helen. ~

Great image, Helen. I think that you are getting the hang of the Leica. I really like how the sun hitting the Walgreen's really pop's out. Fantastic capture. V.

My initial impression was that the camera and you did quite well with the huge dynamic range.

I am surprised you had to g this far to see them; thought they had become the scourge of the northern hemisphere, or at least their droppings had
