Snow Geese In-Flight

Nikon D1h, 600mm f/4 AF-S, Tc-14e, Matrix Metering, Manual, f/5.6, 1/1000sec, RAW Format, ISO 200, Gitzo 410, Wimberly Head.

I am a huge fan of taking in-flight bird shots. There's an entirely different set of challenges to overcome when making these types of images. The whole issue of dealing with focus can require extremely expensive technology. In this case, I manually focused on the bird at a distance. When it approached to within shooting range, I started the camera's auto-focus to ensure a sharp image.
