Goose Stepping Geese 2

previous / next

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.

Camera Settings:
NIKON D700
Nikkor 50mm f1.4
1/1250 second
F/5.0
ISO 800
50 mm

Well, The city-geese are much braver than the wild ones :) But they're willing to pose in a beautiful composition! Very tranquil scene.

That shallow DoF works great here. This is the only reason why I do consider going full frame, and if Sony would come out with a D700 equivalent I would be game. The only FF they have now, the A900, has 24 MPix and that is just too much bits to shuffle around for my purposes.

They still gave you a fine shot of them heading for the water. Nice action image!

Nice! I like the group of geese in the foreground.

I'm wondering if Goose-Stepping 3 will find you wet?

The best laid plans and all that. You got a terrific picture anyway. I like their marching towards the lake. Good stuff as always Laurie.
