Egyptian Gees in flight, my first try.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready
to have somebody click the shutter.

    Thanks a mill Skippy, these were the first shots i ever got in flight. Appareantly it's important to have the main body in focus but have the ss low enough to get some wing movement so imagine how stoked I was!!
    Thanks again for looking and commenting.

    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!"

    It's nice to see some new birds around here, instead of these old coots. Good capture.clap.gifclap.gif
