Greater Snow Geese Have Returned To Cap Tourmente!

The fall migration of the Greater Snow Geese has begun at Cap Tourmente.

For now, there are no goslings with the flock - only adult geese. These are normally geese which have no parental responsabilities. The families with the goslings take a little longer to make the trip.

Canon 50D with 500IS f4 lens with 1.4 II extender mounted on a tripod. Uncropped @ 1/400, f7.1, ISO 400, + 1/3 exposure compensation.

There was cloud cover, which explains the slow shutter speed and + 1/3 exposure compensation and soft look. I would usually use a negative exposure compensation due to the risk of blowing out the whites of the birds.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for this - I am going to be in the Charlevoix area (my first time) next weekend so perhaps we could stop there too at Cap Tourmente and catch the snow geese- they don't seem to have arrived yet in Victoriaville - I might try to get a hold of you out there to get more details

Très bon Mike, c'est dure d'avoir autant d'oie dans son assiettes mais j'aime l'ensemble de la photo
