Canada Goose
I went to Stow Lake yesterday to see the Great Blue Herons at Stow Lake. There were only a few there, on a far off tree, and the light was not very good.
I sat on a bench to watch them for a while, when some Canada geese came around hoping for some food.

I could tell without looking at the byline that it was a WarrenT shot by the wonderful B&W tones! Very nice composition, too, and it conveys a nice, almost bittersweet emotion.
Warren scores on all counts! :-)

Formation Splashdown
These Canada geese are part of a flock that arrived here years ago on a tourist visa while migrating South and decided to stay. For some reason, USCIS doesn't seem to be interested in doing anything about it. And since I'm married to a Canadian, I have a little compassion for them, so I'm not complaining. They don't do much but waddle around, eat, poop, and kvetch loudly ... but every once in a while, a flight of them will take off, circle around to the main road, and come back for a water landing. When they do, you can get some good photos.

clear the runway!!!!! or we'll POOP on you!
great shot! I love how in focus they are... i think they're even looking at your camera too :) -

Great action shot, did you shoot in single frame or continuous mode? Just wondering... :)

I almost always leave my camera in machine-gun mode ;-)
In this case, I watch as the bunch of them circle around and started to come in for a landing, then started shooting. This happened about three or four times.
What you're not seeing is the six or eight frames from each pass that were duds ;-) This was only one of two frames that were worthwhile. -

I almost never use my camera in continous, probably because of force of habit from my extensive film shooting experience :). That's why you get these cool shots, and I don't.
Did you also shoot in AF mode? Does your camera have continuous focus and/or focus tracking?

Hi Warren - yeah, I figure with an 8G card, there's no reason *not* to leave it in continuous mode ;-)
I often use a burst when I set up a photo so that someone or something is walking/driving/running into the frame. Then I have 2, 3 or more shots, and one usually is better-placed or a better gesture or body position than the others.
Canon DSLRs do have a focus-tracking mode, but I didn't use it - I was in "one-shot" focus mode, where the AF locks at the first half-press of the shutter. I actually haven't tried to other modes (there's a third mode - can't remember what it is) and I should try focus-tracking.

Interesting ! lovely, nice capture...:-)
Lena..
This immediately came to mind, a quirky little verse I learned as a kid:
One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back, they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot one another....
If you don't believe this lie is true
Ask the blind man
He saw it too
Really great photo, I love the mirroring and simplicity.
