Saw these guys get up the day before so I came back ready and they didn't disappoint. This was harder for me than shooting fighter jets.

Canada Geese are tough. Check out the Steve Perry youtube videos. It's tough to go wrong with 1/2000 + shutter speed, manual auto iso, back button focus, etc. That shot there is very nice.

Well, they are a little smaller and can be tough when they're flying so close to the ground!

However, you were up to the challenge; nice moody early morning flight picture!

Thanks for posting.

This is a super start. The photo is a beauty wiht wonderful light and the lovely fall colors.

I shoot both birds and aviation and aircraft are many times easier than birds in flight as when you account for scale birds are much faster and maneuverable. Birds are also les predictable.

Overall the image gives a good feel, pretty colors and light. Oh yes birds in flight are much much more difficult than the predictive flight patters of jets and their size that makes them much easier targets

Keep at it, get them coming toward you and concentrate on the getting the leader of formation as your in-focus subject.

I think you did both good on focus and on the capturing the beauty of the moment!
