AT THE FARM

I made this image by shooting through a hole in a chain-link fence at a very low angle. I waited until my subject walked into the composition ...

How cute!! They don't look like they were aware of you at all. Really nice! #348327Kathleen Clemons January 26, 2004
I was wondering how you got so close, Donna. lol Nice shot! #348354Donna R. Moratelli January 26, 2004
Hi Kathleen; It wasn't easy to get so close to them. They are VERY AGGRESSIVE!. The foreground bird started pecking but I got away real fast. I guess it's just bravery and quick reflexes. hehehe.. Thanks for the comment.Hi Carolyn and Theresa. Thanks!! #348367

Nice composition on this shot. You have patience to wait until the geese were in a shooting position. Ma #348446Susan T. Parady January 26, 2004
Terrific composition. You were brave, a goose can give you a nasty bite.Donna R. Moratelli January 26, 2004
**I may have made a mistake about the camera that I used.I'm not positive but, it was either the Canon G3 or the Canon D60.I lost some files during a save and reload, and this is one of the images that I can't find any info on. Sorry but, I'm not sure! I'm just happy that I saved it before it was lost forever because it wasn't easy to be as close to those geese as it may appear.** #348891
