Close Formation: Snow Geese

Snow Geese. Bosque del Apache NWR
One of the great things about being a photographer is that looking for things to put a frame around makes you pay attention to the details of action, form, texture, lighting that otherwise too often just become a blur of experience. Of course, as you get good at photography (or at least better at photography) you also begin to be able to share some of what you observe about action, form, texture, and light…to share little framed snippets of the life as you experience it. Like these two Snow Geese, coming in for a landing in close formation at Bosque del Apache NWR in Socorro NM. Such grace.

Very nice, Steve. Birds-in-flight photos reveal their vitality and grace that’s not usually discernible otherwise.
