Photo of the Day! Momma Goose

Nikon D7000, Nikkor 300mm f2.8 w/TC14e II, ISO 500, f7.1, 1/250, +1/3ev

Momma goose took time for herself while the young ones were busy feeding. This goose sat in the same spot for almost 30 minutes while the youngsters were walking and laying in the grass nearby. It was hot late in the day when I was out shooting and the geese seemed relaxed and enjoying the warm weather.

Last night after them temp cooled off a bit, I grabbed my camera and headed over to the area were I had previously photographed the goslings. I was exactly 4 weeks ago I first came across this family. To my surprise they had the same number of little ones running around and feeding. I will keep me eye on this family so I can watch their feathers develop and eventually leave that location.

What I like about this photo is that it shows the size difference between the adults and the goslings. These goslings couldn't be more than a couple of days old when I took the photo. I hope to have some more soon for you all.

Here is part two of my trip to the local pond where I found three sets of goslings roaming around. I still plan to head back there ASAP before the fly away, but weather and my job has ruined those plans so far.

Photo of the Day! Motion Blur

Nikon D90, Nikkor 300mm f2.8, ISO 200, f16, 1/13

I made this image just before my "Running on Water" image. There was poor lighting for most of the day. I wanted to try something new and create a motion blur. I have done this before during races, but not with animals.
