[QUOTE="stmv, post: 795755, member: 10038"] once a year, I like traveling down to see the passing thru Snow Geese. I am not bird photographer, but do appreciate the skill of folks make this their special. they were not too close, and I was using the 80-400 and also the 300 2.8 macro. both useful for this type of shot. I ended up finding the manual focus on the 300 better than on auto. light is so key for these type of photos, and most of the time, had dull cloudy light, but I waited and waited and then the sun started to go down, and a group flew off the distance, and for a split second, crossed a gap in the otherwise cloudy sky,,, providing some color Here is the photo.
