Just because I haven't added many images to my site recently doesn't mean that I haven't been active hobbling with my wobbly knees in the field.

The last few weeks have been busy with the arrival of migrating Snow Geese. The geese are presently at their peak at Cap Tourment nature management reserve before they continue their migration north.

This one was taken last night just before the sun set below the horizon. The geese flew past and under the sun's rays. The photos taken at 5:30 in the morning at dawn were equally breathtaking!

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens with the 1.4 II extender, on a tripod @ 1/1000, f5.6, ISO 640, +1/3 exposure compensation.

Image tilted to level the horizon, then cropped to fit a 12 x 16 format.

Yes, for the purists, there is image noise, but I will leave it there - in my view, it adds to the texture of the image.

Cheers,

Mike
