(Snow Goose) Bosque de Apache, New Mexico

Well, I made it. And, I've forgotten how SLOW dial up is. :? But I really wanted to show this. I hope it's ok, I don't use my laptop to work images often.

Tripod mounted Nikon D1H, 600mm AFS, TC-14EII, ISO 200, Manual, 1/1600 @ F6.3. Full Frame.

Excellent, Tony! :lol:
Thanks for sharing your first image from Bosque. It just shows that you do NOT really need a D2H to make great picture like this, do you? :wink:

I see a slight yellow cast on the plumage here ...

Fabulous shot Anthony. I sure had hoped you would have gotten your hands on a D2H for the trip! But, it doesn't get any better than this. :) :)

Beauty of a shot here. I like the tight composition around the wings.
I leave for Bosque in two days ... this post siked me up this morning.

Superb shot. Thank goodness that you didn't clip the wings. Excellent perfomance.

I can see why you lot love Bosque this much. I'll have to go there myself someday... :roll: I'll add it to the list with 100s of places where I have to go...

Tony,

Looks like this goose has been gulping down a lot. Nice landing wingspread.

Jim
Enjoy viewing
