first real try at BIF

Sorry I had an issue uploading photos

Your must have been doing the clicking at the original page...At the bottom of the page, click on Go Advanced. You will see a much bigger wider space to put your message, however you wanted it to be. Underneath that page is Click Here to Upload Photos from Your Computer. Click that one. Easy---Peasy...Try it.

I was trying to link to the photos from my Flickr account through my tablet. I'll use the method you said about from my computer later this morning

[Signguy Gary]

Here I think this will work much better.

C&C Welcome

Here are some of the ones that couldn't end up getting off the ground

Exceptionally beautiful! Gorgeous light and detail, especially so in the first image. I adore the images of the Geese taking off on the snow with the golden reeds in the background - a beautiful and especially charming scene.

Wow these are great shots. I like the bright golden light in them and the sharpness. I have been trying to get some images like this lately, but the geese won't cooperate! They look really funny when taking a running start into flight.

[Shadowman]

Nicely done.

[Signguy Gary]

Thanks i really got lucky with getting the geese to fly directly across in front of me. This location is known as the beaver ponds but I've yet to see any beaver here but it's a great spot for geese as I pulled in I saw them at the top pond which is the easiest to sneak up on. So a put a sneak on which is a little difficult being 6'7" 300# but when I crested the pond they saw me and took off, thankfully they flew across in front of me. The only thing that could have worked better is if the would have flown left in staff of right. I have a nice shot with 2 together but there is a car coming down the road and a yellow traffic control sign that really stands out.

I'd love to get a 500 lens for BIF but that's a lot of cash for a hobbyist

[IzzieK]

I see you have success in uploading your image...they are all good with good lights on them. I particular like the second and third shots even if the first one is a perfect shot because you caught these on such a funny position trying to fly (or run away from you..). I love funny pictures...

[Rebel]

These are great pictures Gary, love the last 2

It's a funny thing Gary but most photographers will tell you that things moving from left to right in the frame is more satisfactory in terms of composition. I've often wondered if this has anything to do with the fact that we write from left to right and if so whether the same is true in cultures where the norm is to write from right to left or top to bottom. - todays idle thought. Nice images though, particularly the first and second.

[Signguy Gary]

Thanks everyone. Yes it may not have looked as pleasing if the flock would have flown right to left but i wouldn't have had photos with the road highway signs and cars bungling the photos up

[FrankMi]

The first one is absolutely stunning if you can ignore the bold commercial advertisement. Unfortunately, the first thing the eye goes to in an image like this is the bright white text.

[KimC]

These are just gorgeous!

[Marie Hass]

Stunners. Love the warmth of white balance that you used.

DoF and sharpness is perfect in all.

Compositionally very pleasing.

Ditto all admirations, Gary, especially hues. My pick is the first, but they're all great. Kudos!

[Signguy Gary]

Thanks to all of you. Does my name stick out that bad to everyone else? I just started putting my name on my photos, I'm not sure if I like this logo completely yet so changes can be made
