Decided to try and tune in a borrowed lens and see what i could do. So off to the local duck pond. Well it's more of a goose pond now as the geese have pretty well taken over.

Just some from the first attempt at actually try to get some "Wildlife" section postable shots. C&C appreciated!

    Canadians are the people from Canada. (or a lousy hockey team from Montreal!) :D

    Good set Randy. On the first I would have liked a bit more room on frame right. The second one needs a bit of straightening and the highlights are a tad hot in the third image.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
