p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Bosque at Slow Shutter Speed

I had a lot of fun trying some slow shutter speeds with the geese.

I am certainly not a videographer by any stretch of anyones imagination, but I had to try to capture some of the colors and sounds.

If you would like to here thousands of geese flying and blasting off, I hope you will view the videos below. Please watch full screen size and turn the volume up

Bosque Morning

The Snow Geese

I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for looking.

Very nice, Birdie. You certainly captured the essence of BdA.

You managed to get at least one bird in pretty good focus in each image. I like the last with the blue goose best.

Very cool set Birdie. The first and last stills are my faves. That last one is super, and the density of geese is amazing. Well done.

That's a lot of birds! Your images are a departure from the usual images from Bosque. The mass of birds and activity are captured in a beautiful way. I particularly like the last one. The videos are also excellent.

After listening to the clatter in the videos it was nice to find peace in your images with 'slow shutter' usage

Wow there are a lot of birds there for the taking!

Well done Birdie, #3 would be my choice. Always interesting to see a different take on the same type shots.

Loved the videos, Birdie! Sound fit for Carnegie Hall! Photos are great, but it takes a video to really capture the moment. Thanks for sharing!

Birdie--what a treat to see both the videos and the stills (though they're pretty dynamic in their own right)!

I've read for years about the scene at Bosque but this is the first time I've any real inkling of how crazy it is there. The brilliance, colors and sounds in the videos are absolutely impressive.

Rarely do the still blurs work for me, but I've gotta say, these are in a class of their own.

Thanks for posting.

Great work with the slow SS Birdie...all of them turned out well and it isn't easy to do in my experience.

I love the video, especially #1!

They are *so* spectacular in their hundreds of thousands!

That must be the Corn Field on the north end and that huge background flock (from 0 to about 20 seconds) must be from over the Dance Floor.

There were more Snow Geese at Bosque when this video was taken, than when I was there in November. I have been thinking about going back this winter. Thank you for this!

And that #4 is exciting too Birdie!

Thanks Ken. It is truly amazing they don't injure themselves when they all take off like that.

Thanks Karl. It was so neat when they all flew over me with all that noise from the wings flapping and the squawking.
