Snow Geese In Flight

Make room!

Photographing snow geese in flight is a lot of fun but can also be challenging. To make it easier use a long lens and don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the large numbers of geese flying all at once. Pick a bird, or a small group, that looks to have a flight path that will cross close enough to get good image and track them until they are close enough to make a nice composition.  Also watch for the geese to turn into the wind at the last second and cup their wings to land amongst other geese. And don’t forget that a plus exposure compensation is often needed photographing light subjects like snow geese!
