Goose Stepping Geese 2Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 5 January 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio. This is the second shot of the same geese from the previous post. I was running toward them trying to get them to fly so I could get a shot of them in flight. As you can see I failed to get them to fly. For a much larger view go here. See my new SLIDESHOW page.

Great group you caught ! 5 Jan 2009 7:47am dobbino from Cape Town, South AfricaBeautiful tones coming through. Looks like a wonderful place for a visit. 5 Jan 2009 8:05am Monique from Koh Samui, ThailandIt's if the ones still on the land are waiting for their turn to take a bath! :) That's why they didn't want to fly away ;) Lovely capture of these beautiful colored geese! 5 Jan 2009 8:16am Marcie from United StatesNice series. Someday the earth might be over-run by these geese. Look at 'em all!!!! 5 Jan 2009 9:36am MadScientist from Düsseldorf, GermanySeems to be their favourite place; I love the colours here. 5 Jan 2009 9:39am Giovanni from Milan, ItalyEheh, they are so cute and so funny! Very nice capture Laurie!! 5 Jan 2009 10:42am Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaBeautiful light and excellent detail make this image really appealing. 5 Jan 2009 11:28am PhotoSam from London, United Kingdombah, stubborn geese... really like the light in this one... 5 Jan 2009 11:39am Viewfinder from Bradenton, United StatesThese must be rather blase geese, unruffled by the antics of assorted humans and paparazzi. 5 Jan 2009 12:34pm Nina from Hamburg, GermanyA perfect captured image, these geese are charming... and the lighting is simply wonderful. 5 Jan 2009 12:52pm GJC from Kyoto, Japan"What's up with that crazy lady over there?" "heck if I know; why don't we just get in the water so she can't get too close." Or so that's what I imagine them saying. Photographers will do anything -- and that's a good thing! 5 Jan 2009 12:53pm Tracey from White Hall, United StatesLove it! It looks like they are having some sort of meeting and the foreground geese are the head honchos! 5 Jan 2009 1:32pm Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesLovely sight. Those guys are just too tame. 5 Jan 2009 4:06pm Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, CanadaThey fly when you don't want them to and walk when you want them to fly. Very stubborn creatures. 5 Jan 2009 4:51pm Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, CanadaSeems you don't look very scary to the geese! :-) 5 Jan 2009 5:05pm Suzanne from Huntington Bch, United StatesThis is a wonderful capture. We have t local parks with lakes and you never see a wild goose at the bigger of the 2 but the little one literally fills up every winter. 5 Jan 2009 6:17pm JJ from Jersey City, United StatesBeautifully composed and captured a lovely natural scene, splendid :) 5 Jan 2009 6:50pm Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, FranceLovely composition, here. And the light is very nice… 5 Jan 2009 7:08pm @sorter: lol...I'll never tell! I have lots of those I am certain. Jasp from Plymouth, United KingdomThey look very like the Canadian geese that visit our local water...if you could just read their tags .... :-) 5 Jan 2009 8:34pm sorter from tehran, Irani dont think so ....cause all i can see here is toooooooooooo well ! you know ! 5 Jan 2009 8:37pm Rabbit from Richmond, United StatesI suppose that would mean you are NOT very scary looking... Since it looks like they just waddled away. Nice composition with geese scattered everywhere. 5 Jan 2009 9:16pm Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesJust so incredibly cute... I love watching them walk... 5 Jan 2009 9:28pm Chris from South Jersey, United Statesbeautiful shot - the lighting is sublime.... 5 Jan 2009 9:32pm dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesMust be like the famed "Spruce Goose" beautiful but unable to fly. Really like the light again. 5 Jan 2009 9:33pm Ronnie 2¢ from London, United KingdomCharming shots and, yes, those Geese are not what I'd call collaborative ! I do believe I read someplace trey were considered one of the most successful species on earth. Can well believe it. 5 Jan 2009 11:01pm PD from Overland Park, Kansas, United StatesI guess you weren't too frightenting. Oh well, good shot anyway. 5 Jan 2009 11:18pm Charles from New York, United StatesAt least you got some good exercise...and a nice shot also! 6 Jan 2009 12:43am Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomCrisp with beautiful color, it's a super shot. 6 Jan 2009 1:55am JamesC from portland, United StatesWow, that's a lot of ducks. I like how sharp your focus is on the ducks and nicely burr into the background. 6 Jan 2009 2:15am Jeffster from Long Island, United StatesBeautiful scenery. I like this composition more than yesterdays. Just the way they are observing... 6 Jan 2009 3:12am Craig from Vacaville, California, United StatesStill a cool shot! Next time try the same technique with ducks. I think it will work. 6 Jan 2009 6:27am Barbara from Florida, United StatesBeautiful composition, Laurie. Wonderful scene of these geese. They are fearless no matter what you do, and probably too heavy to get their rumps up in the air for a short distance like ducks can do. 6 Jan 2009 12:17pm MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomA wonderful shot Laurie, and soooo many geese! 6 Jan 2009 11:48pm Sri Harsha from Melbourne, Australiabeautiful composition. Guessing they were quite relaxed as you approached them! a nice cool lot! 7 Jan 2009 1:12pm Taitt Photography from Chicago, United Statesso peaceful looking. 7 Jan 2009 3:15pm Magda from Vancouver, CanadaFantastic shot! Love the perspective and framing! Well done! :) 8 Jan 2009 1:25am Pouhou from Apeldoorn, Netherlandsgreat great tonal, I like it, interesting composition 19 Jan 2009 8:23pm |
