Two Canadian Geese taking off from a pond while I was shooting the sunset last night on 03/14/2009 with a Canon 50D camera. Best view larger!

    The property owner came down when I was shooting and was wondering what I was doing. Oh, she said, I thought you were fishing and we don’t want anyone fishing here because they leave their trash behind. Her question was what are you capturing? I said, the shimmering on the water is the first thing I want and when the sun goes behind the trees I want to capture it. I told her I may have to come back several times to get the perfect shot. After she left the geese took off. Thanks for the review

    Big D fantastic sir!!! Nicely done!! Like how the Geese really pull out from the background!!!! sweet image!!

    I decided on a D90. Its on its way!

  • BigD replied

    Well I am glad you finally made up your mine on what brand of camera to buy. LOL The D90 is close to the D300 isn’t it? Smart move at least the lens you have can interchange. Thanks

    Excellent composition! The sun just hovering on the horizon and the light just touching the geese. The clarity is astounding. The camera is a nice one – may I ask which lens you used?

    I used a Sigma 17-70mm macro lens and thanks for the good review. BigD

    I love your wonderful story as the geese took flight, the natural vignette effect is a fascinating natural optical effect and the golden glow on the horizon is very pretty. The highlights on the geese are truly amazing and add great depth and wonder to a beautiful photograph.
    Congratulations on your feature in All Countries ~ Wetlands, Ponds, Lakes and Rivers
