Life is unfolding as it should with the autumn return of migrating Greater Snow Geese.

Here, they were disturbed by a passer-by and are preparing to takeoff.

Canon 40D with the 100-400 f4.5-5.6 lens @ 1/1000, f14, ISO 200, @ 400mm lens focal distance.

I threw in a –2 exposure compensation so as not to blow out the white of the geese in the low contrasting light.

Some photogs would probably blur the background leaves a bit, which is fine, but today I left them as they were.

Cheers,

Mike
