    Default EGPYTIAN GOOSE in flight

    The Geese were doing their sorties while I was busy shooting the flamingoes at Lake Nakuru . This one had a slightly different trajectory and I was sure it would come quite near . Was traking it from far to ensure that I do not goof up at the last moment . This was when he was parallel to me . The light was really low and had to pan this a bit to ensure that I got him sharp .

    Camera : 1D MK III
    Lens : 600mm f4 IS
    Aperture : f 7.1
    Shutter : 1/1000
    Speed : ISO 2000

    Cheers,
    Rakesh

    Love the Colour of the BG and the angle of flight. Must have been very bad lighting as just 1/100 shutters at iso 2000. well done here sir. But if the shutters had been better i suppose the wings would have also frozen!! well not everything is in our control.

    Rakesh:

    I love the tucked in feet here, angle in frame is nice, good eye contact. Hint of clouds give some extra sense of depth in the image.

    The whites on the back wing aren't showing any detail. There are a couple of sensor spots, one just below belly and another on the far right frame edge, mid level.

    Good job of situational awareness to capture him.

    Cheers
