Nature Splash Down

Splash Down · 05:10 AM

I haven't slapped on the Bigma in a while so I figured it was nice enough last night I would head out the the local wetlands and see what the geese and ducks were up to. Managed to capture this guy, squawking at something coming in for landing. Lost a bit of the wings in the frame , but hey this was at 500mm and relative fast action so I was pretty impressed with myself. Lens operates just fine (in decent light) thank you very much. Any shots I deleted were user error.

Terrific action shot, Dave. And that landing is nothing to squawk at.
