I am not a great fan of the Canada Goose so this post is about the photo rather than the bird. As I say consatntly, the more you immerse yourself in to photography, the more you realise the importance of light and the effect it has on your finished images. At this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun is low in the sky it can be easier to take pictures. Recently on my visit to Sri Lanka when the sun was strong and high in the sky by 9 in the morning, it was almost impossible to take a picture that you would be satisfied with. This picture shows the golden light that can make for a very nice finished picture. In addition, the golden effect is also the product of the dried reed beds that are reflected in the water. I always strive to get the light coming from over my shoulder. this will always help.
This last few days we have had a couple of interesting birds in the garden. A couple of Goldcrest two days ago and yesterday a nice female Blackcap Warbler.
