Snow Geese Migration

This morning I got up early and headed to Middlecreek Wildlife Refuge to photograph the snow geese migration. The morning, though chilly, brought a lot of sun, wind and several photographers, and birders "flocking" to see this annual migration. At first there weren't too many snow geese, but as the morning wore on, more of these amazing birds arrived.

These two images are my favorite. I purposely used a slow shutter to capture the movement of the snow geese's wings and practiced panning. I also used a polarizer and had my camera mounted on my Induro tripod.
