Sunday morning as I sat on the bank of the lake waiting for the Mute Swans to swim by (see yesterday's post), a lone Canada goose flew in. He landed on the water near by, but I could just catch glimpses of him through the tangle of bushes on the bank. He spent the next ten minutes in a loud conversation with some geese on the main part of the lake who were invisible in the fog and then he flew off to join them. He passed me, going very fast and skimming the surface of the water.
I heard him land among the other geese and they greeted him with raucous honking and wing flapping. They sounded happy to see him . . . I think.
What a fantastic shot, this is just beautiful. Very nice Edd
ReplyDeleteThanks Don.
DeleteWhat kind of lens were you using, Edd?
ReplyDeleteI was using my old Pentax FA 80-320mm, the same one I dropped in the water in the Dismal Swamp a couple of weeks ago.
DeleteI am at work now and don't have the information on the focal length for this shot, but I can get it tonight. I am guessing around 250mm.
Oh, right! The one that does sepia-toned photos so well now. :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, the very one. Part of the reason I had this lens on the camera that morning was see if there were any ill effects from its fall. This shot was taken at 240mm (360mm equivalent).
