Migration

Winner of "By Popular Vote!" Monthly Photo Contest - September 2011, Canadian Wildlife Federation.  

I took this picture on a late afternoon of Oct. 29, 2010 when lots of geese were flying away from a corn field in Kanata, Ontario, Canada. The low sun helped light up the geese wings.

Camera specs: Canon 5D Mark II fitted with EF35mm f/1.4L lens,  f/8 @ 1/500 second, ISO 800.

Camera specs: Canon 7D fitted with EF70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens, f/10 @ 1/100 second, ISO 800.
