Seeing all the amazing images here at NSN has made me realize the concentration and commitment needed to make such images.

I wanted to make an image of the Egyptian geese playing (or fighting :roll: ) and did so today. You need to stick with the plan, get your manual exp for the expected situation (which may never materialize) and keep other opportunities out of mind.

I was rewarded with this free for all and it was exciting. They can really go at it. Have a few more but this portrays the action best. Hope you like it !!!!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Cool shot Al.
I have not seen this type of geese before. Reminds me of the coots chasing each other out here.

I love the action, I wish for a better angle, but I Know, sometimes is impossible.

I like how you planned this shot. That's what takes a photographer to the next level IMO.
