Flight of the Snow Geese

Chincoteague, Virginia

An adult and a juvenile in flight. We were treated to thousands of Snow Geese during our visit.
Flight shots are a bit challenging with this lens, so it was fun to try.

You've done the impossible! Have read you can't get these kind of shots with that lens. You've certainly proved that's not true. Great work Sayer. Must have been a thrilling experience to see so many of them in real life.
