Haven't been out "shooting" in a while, so I went out and took some shots this morning:

 

Baby goose in Burnham Park in Morristown NJ

 

Redwinged Black Bird in Burnham Park in Morristown NJ

 

Sasha, in my back yard:

Nice pics.

 

Your dog looks mad. Probably because he has an anchor on his neck and is tagged by The Man.

As always, great pics!

I like the goose

Me to especially on September 1st when I shoot the hell out of the flying shit machines. You should see what they do to my boat during the summer on Lk. Hopatcong. I have my revenge every fall!

Nice bokeh on the blackbird

Looking at your signature EC..... I can't help but have the same thought.

 

 

But yes, those are really nice Pics Howard.

I never used to hunt them until one spring they built a nest on my dock. Went down there to look at the lake one afternoon, and they attacked me! Came back the next day with my Big Bertha #1 driver and took care of business. I've hunted every goose season since. They really do crap everywhere, it's pretty disgusting.

 

 

I was really surprised at the yardage a goose egg will travel. It's amazing when you keep your head down, left elbow straight, bend your knees just enough, and swivel your hips properly on your swing. With the right follow-through you can get a nice straight shot, with plenty of lift.

 

Lol.... Follow thru is important. Ha....

Looks a lot like what I get from my Nikon 300mm 2.8G VRII Nano
