Early Geese

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted December 18, 2011193 views9 comments

I took this last week, shortly after the eclipse finished here in central Kansas. A distant fog bank obscured the horizon. Geese were flying everywhere, and this flock came straight at me. The simplicity of the scene resonates with me. 7D, ISO 400, 1/250, f/11, small crop. C&C is always welcome and appreciated.

I really like the simplicity here, Rob. A nice clean canvas.

Did this get posted in the wrong gallery? I keep searching for man-made elements.

Thanks folks. Max, the man-made element here is the dike. Hard to tell what it really is at this scale though.

Love the abstract qualities to this. Some lovely light rounds off a wonderful shot.

Nice vision, Rob. The minimalist approach really tells the story of the open prairie and emphasizes that huge goose V.
