Goose Fight
I couldn't go out and shoot today because it was raining and thought I would post another one from my practicing at 1/8 th of a second. I know I should have tried panning but I used these semi-stationary geese who I thought were going to kill one-another in a vicious five minute fight.
1-4 @180
5.6
TV Mode 1/8 s
+1 1/3 exposure comp
Flash @ - 1 1/3
ISO 400
I like the motion with the slow shutter speed.
Comments Appreciated. Thanks.

These motion shots are always interesting to me. You never know what you are going to get. I like this image. I can feel the energy of the fight and what's going on with the foreground water is very interesting.
i think if you panned it wouldnt be as nice here. i love that the one eye is perfectly sharp and all the chaos is going on around it. personally, i think you nailed this one!!
a question for someone that knows, would it be proper to use rear curtain flash in these blur situations?
... Harold ... if I knew which side was the front or back it would :D
With these just take many then choose !! I like being able to see one face and the implied action, different for certain !! What a fight !!!! btw for strange effects can go even lower on the shutter speed and if the bird is stationary must move the camera slowly !!!
Interesting one, Jackie. I like the composition of the two birds in the frame, and the one eye makes it interesting. But for some reason it doesn't totally work for me - maybe not enough blur, I'm not sure. I guess you never know what you're going to get until you take lots and then look at the results when you get home.
Bill maybe I didn't get enough blur because I was too close, this is full frame. Not sure being pretty non-techie, but that would be my guess.

Interesting shot remind me of a hologram. to bad you could not get rid of the goose in the BG
From Joe MaNally, it seems to me rear curtain flash makes sense all the time.Originally Posted by harold davis
Re the pic, I prefer not to see the third bird a bit above and to the right of the fighting birds.
