Lake Visitors

ISO800; 35mm; 1/125sec; manual telephoto lensEach year we have geese come and check out the lake to see if it's suitable for them to have their babies.  Sometimes, we have several pairs of geese that fight between themselves over who was there first and that is always fun to watch.  They make a lot of noise and sometimes they seem to dive bomb each other.  On this day, the geese were visiting and all getting along.  This shot is across the lake so the geese aren't as easy to see.  But, the reflection of the geese and the trees are very nice.

It started to sprinkle and I was trying to catch the motion of the water.  That was a lot harder than I thought and something that I haven't been practicing.  I need to study up on the best way to capture motion and try again.

Using the saturation feature in Lightroom really brings out the colors in photos.
