Weekly Photo Challenge No. 162 - G is for . . .

[Sepiana]

ATTENTION!!!

There is no longer a "next Sunday" posting deadline. You can grab your camera, take your photo, and post it in this thread any time you wish to.

Hi everyone,

Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread.

- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.

Pete, great job capturing them in the wild! I really like how you composed your shot -- with the geese looking across the frame.  It all looks so "natural".

I am curious.  How close did you get to them?

Bailey, really nice shot.  You got a trifecta of something starting with the letter G.

G - is for - Gander.

From the dictionary - The phrase "have a gander" meaning "have a look" is common in the UK.

'It looks a long way down.'

whippet, nice interpretation of "G is for". I like how you cropped your images. It emphasizes the line created by the ganders (going from one side of the frame to the other).

Thanks Sepiana! I suppose I was 50 - 75 yards across the pond; my bridge camera has 25-600 optical zoom; on hikes / walks such as this I carry a TrekPod and use it as a monopod.

Pete, thanks for answering my question! Our local camera store carries TrekPods. They said I could rent one to test the waters.

Thanks for the theme Sepiana.

Those Canadian Geese get everywhere and to think that they were on the way to becoming extinct not that long ago. Another "G" bird that can be a bit annoying is the Gull. This one was hoping I was going to feed it instead of just take its photo!



Another natural G I ran across today was this Green Cottongrass. Not strictly a grass but a sedge but it is Green ..

Bill, great thinking out of the box. Simply beautiful! I love how you captured the sculpture details. Impressive!

Pete, great shot!  A parade of goslins enhanced by the play of light and shadows. Amazing clarity and details!
