Sneaky Snow Goose On The Loose

Taken during the spring migration of Greater Snow Geese at Cap Tourmente. I found this shot a bit amusing, mostly because the geese are usually see in the open.

Although the lighting is not dramatic, I was interested in the rich green of flora, because the geese at Cap Tourmente in the spring are usually surrounded by the colours of early spring - browns, ocre, etc.

Canon 40D with 400L f5.6 lens @ 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 200, -1/3 exposure compensation (to avoid blowing out the whites).

Cropped for composition purposes, because as usual, I center moving birds in my view finder. I did blur a bit more the background to isolate the goose.

Cheers,

Mike
