Twilight FlightPosted by drfl on July 31st, 2009

On the same evening as “Dimming Light From a Northern Sun”, these geese flew through the scene on their way to the next pond.  As I was setup with my 5d Mark II for a landscape shot, I grabbed my 50d and started snapping away.  About 10 seconds into this, I tried to get a landscape with my 5d Mark II with the geese, but it was too late, they were already too far through the frame.  Upon review of the shots, this one appeals to me with the strong sunset clouds behind them that almost mirror the slope of the line of geese.
