    Default Canada Gosling Trio

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    No drama here, just a routine shot of the next generation. Assuming I've been coming across the same family (at the SJWS), here are some observations: (1) The attrition rate is high. When I first saw the goslings, there were five. Last time I saw them, there were only two. (2) They grow at an incredibly fast rate (literally tripling in size in a week's time).

    Canon 7D and the Canon 500mm f/4 lens + 1.4X Extender II. Manual, f/11 at 1/640sec, ISO 400. Tripod-mounted.

    Thanks for looking -- all C&C welcome,

    John

    P.S.: In looking at my post, I now wonder whether this image can go a bit brighter...

    John, cuteness factor all over this, especially the youngster at the back with the droplet on the beak. Good DOF to cover all three, and I like the fluffy detail that you have captured. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom. Well spotted and captured.

    Cutness factor like this needs a warning sign!
    I agree with John on the crop from the bottom. Well done in the capture!

    Very cute and I echo the suggestion to crop a bit from the bottom and yes, a bit brighter for me.

    John, these are hard to pull off than it seems. Getting three good head angles, especially on these young ones is not easy. Niether is it easy to get them in the same plane and not overlapping with each other. You also got the right sun angle and the shooting angle. Very well done.

    I like the brightness. 10 out of 10 on the cuteness factor! Love the fact that they aren't overlapping one another and all in same plane so all in focus. TFS

    Thanks, everyone. I was lucky that they approached me slowly, so I was able to wait for the right head angle and spacing. I don't get that kind of cooperation very often!
