Warning: I am not a bird shooter at all

But after driving around looking for inspiration this COLD COLD afternoon, I saw a large amount of Geese (and other) and had to play

Here are the images I walked away with

I just saw them. I love photo #2--the light was perfect and it's a wonderfully simple but graphic image to me. Keep shooting birds!

Too Many Blue Angle shows!

#2 & 3 look like they're trying to mimic the Blues!

I'm not a bird photog either

...but I thought the third shot of the geese in formation was particularly fine. In shot 2 I was going to make some other wise @$$ comments about shooting the south end of northbound geese, but I thought better of it.

Real Bird Photographers would be complaining about the lack of feather detail and poor eye contact! And how much better you could have done with a $10,000 lens.

I did wish I had a longer lens, I think the birds were laughing at my 70-200

The 2nd stands out to me the most.... Almost looks like rapid shooting.. I really like that one. All over then are really very nice.

As you notice here, once somebody "breaks the ice" commments tend to flow more easily. Not sure exactly why that is.

I only know enough about shooting birds to know that my 70-200 also makes them laugh. "Ha, wait until you look at that shot in Lightroom buddy! We'll all just be a bunch of little brown dots! - your fine, and far away, feathered friend!"

In any case, I think they're pretty good, and especially like the 2nd and 3rd shots. Those are pretty cool, even if you don't claim to be a birder.

I must have missed these, {nice shots! (27 times)} Just Kidding!

These are good, considering birds are hard to capture. I dont think I could come up with something like this until I go out and work on it a bit.

I love snow geese...have not had much luck seeing many this year. i heard most of them stayed up north on the canada side of the border

Nice shots...I really like 2 and 4 and yeah, I get a little discouraged myself when I post something and see a lot of views and no feedback...
