Sometimes things don’t work out as you would like… you go out to test a bit of photos of flying ducks etc.… and nothing wants to fly nearby… so you extend that zoom beyond normal and try to photo the birds afar… this is the result… just a bit of fun…
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
I love how they look like they are gliding! Fantastic shots.
Thank you…
Did you ever consider that sometimes a bird just want to take off in private? Sheesh! 😉
I have and that is why I don’t bother them every day, just every second day.. but then what else have they got to do but try to please me??
Not bad from distance bulldog…what focal length did you use? I do wish wildlife would be more cooperative when you want to take their picture.
I used a 700 mm equivalent on my camera… but ones ability to focus on the subject decreases with the focal length…
It looks like they were on to your plan this time… 😉
Thanks… I would have preferred them closer…
well that worked out! Nice shots.
Thanks TBM
Great shots bulldog. I love Egyptian Geese. They are beautiful! 😀
Their manner of gliding makes it a little easier to capture in flight… but they would just not come closer that day… Thank you…
Why is it that photo’s almost always show the wings at the bottom of the swoop? 😀
That is a good question… maybe their wings don’t go much higher above their body but rather further below… good point on which to ponder…
Bob, great distance job … the goose looks so big??? .
Thanks Viveka, it is quite a big goose…
That blur-dy goose came into (no, I won’t say it, lest it be misunderstood!) in the last one. 🙂
Thanks Col… go on say it…
Um … OK … into …. clear visual adjustment!
The things we take as common place in our environment are so amazing. Thank you for drawing attention so not to miss these special gifts.
Thank you Charlie…
I love the colours and patterns of this goose.
Thanks Anneli… such a common goose here.. one doesn’t give it the attention it actually deserves…
Rob I thought you only got long shots in golf .
Oh yes those long shots on the golf course are what I’m renowned for…
I have low luck in obtaining photos of animals in motion. Great photos.
Thanks Alex… that is why I head to this hide to practice… but they just did not want to co-operate closer than that…
Seems so exciting, you did great set, Thank you dear Rob, Love, nia
Thanks Nia… at the very limit of my lens
Well done, bulldog. Nice long-shots. 🙂
Thanks AD… turned out not to bad.. but really at the extremities of my cameras capabilities…
Excellent, Bulldog!! 🙂
Thanks Skye
How did you know the little fella was Egyptian?
By the colour of his Cr..p… lol .. another long shot… lol… by his colouring…
Rob , you got the EG Solo Red Bull flight here in great detail. Time to put down the Nikons , Canons , strip the Camo sleeves on the 500’s & 600’s to dry the tears with and pay respect to …… frigging good photo’s.
Wow… now to receive such a compliment from a photographer of your standard, is indeed, for me, a day maker… Thank you Sir I bow in appreciation…
haha – actually doesn’t look real – or perhaps like a birdman competition better describes it. Cool pics.
Thanks … so many times I sit at this hide and have the ducks fly right by us… yesterday, nothing except this long shot… wish they would better co-operate like good models should…
great and wonderful duck
Thank you..
you are welcome
