I was quietly looking at the water for someting to shoot when that pair of Canada geese (coming from behind me) almost brushes my shoulder to crash lands very close in front. I'd say that was my fastest shooting ever. (taken april 14 2025)

I agree. It pays to be prepared.

Very cool Yves. You must have been sitting extremely still and then I can image trying to capture this action. Nicely captured and explained.

A super close-up shot of this pair from an unusual angle as they came in for a landing.. Your focus is spot on and I like how you captured the excitement and beauty of the moment, Yves.
