Snow Geese Blast Off, Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
This cold morning reminds me of another cold morning a few years back when I was in Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico photographing sandhill cranes and snow geese. Each morning the snow geese would blast off en masse from the area’s ponds and lakes and take to the skies in large flocks. I used a slow shutter speed in this shot and panned with the flight of the geese to create blurred motion.
