With the my winter Snowy Owl season over, my camera is now turned towards the spring migration.
Don't worry, I've lots of Snowy Owl photos in my archives and I will be posting new ones throughout the summer, both for your viewing pleasure and for my nostalgic well-being.
These Canada Geese are on the move. In the background, you can see white blotches which are in fact a line of Greater Snow Geese feeding in the field.
Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens with the 1.4 Extender II on monopod @ 1/1000, f8, ISO 400, +1 exposure compensation. Cropped slightly to properly level the horizons.
Many of my photos on this day suffered from a background distortion due to the rapid evaporation of humidity by a warm sun. In the best of situations, this can give the impression of a painter's brush-stroke. This one here isn't too bad, although many others are almost unusable.
Cheers,
Mike
