This week’s WPC is Split Second.
These photos, which were taken in Richmond, Vancouver, Canada are supplied by my classmate Mr. Chung (who also supplied the stunning image of Huangshan).
The snow geese , with its feet down, is looking for a place to land.
In a split second, it clasped its wing – like the fighter Harriet which can fold its wings – was ready for the landing . . . . . . . . . . to join the crowd.

These are great!!
Glad that you like the pictures 🙂 Thank you!
Fantastic capture indeed.
Glad that you like the pictures, Jo 🙂
Captures I should say.
Understood. Regards, Michael
Precision flying and precision photography! 🙂
They must have sharp eyes. The first one is looking at an angle, presumably, the landing spot is still some distance. For the geese on the second photo, they look straight down – that’s where they are to land!
Hi Michael,
You really captured them there in flight. They look good enough to eat. (roast goose)

Hope they are good to eat as well! But their meat can be quite tough 🙂
I’m sure we could find a way to sweeten and tenderize the meat.
Leslie
You must be a great cook!
I used to be a caterer with my younger son (who is a great chef). We had our own company.

Hi, glad to learn that you have your own business. Where are you based?
Amazing! I tried to take a picture of some birds, but so far no luck (maybe I should say “no skill” instead) 😉 I can’t believe how sharp the image is. Thanks.
Glad that you like the pictures 🙂 You can try taking some of their photos 🙂
Incredible photos. You must love waking up every morning! Hugs, Barbara
I love waking up to a fresh day with fine weather, not too cold or too hot and not raining – and knowing that I survive another day!
Awesome shots!
Hi Cee, glad that you like the pictures 🙂
Fantastic split seconds!
Glad that you like the pictures 🙂
Wow, those are great! I habitually avoid birds because it’s so hard to freeze them in interesting positions, but he did well! I don’t suppose you happen to know what lens & shutter speed he took these at? And to get the focus that precise (the first one especially) with an aperture that demanding…nice work.
I tried to glen those data from the image, but have no success. My friend is going back to Canada this week on personal reasons – so I couldn’t ask him for a while.
Incredible photo!
Nice to hear from you again! Regards, Michael
BRILLIANT, Michael ! – and beautiful as well. 🙂
Glad that you like the pictures 🙂
Stunning pictures. It’s as though the birds are still and posing.
They appears to be frozen in that split second. Regards, Michael
Crikey, dive-bombing snow geese! Whatever next? These are very nicely captured…
Sometimes, I don’t really know what I am going to do next! Hope they won’t disappoint, anyway!
Nice One, congratulations.
Great to hear from you! Thank you 🙂
Of course I remember 🙂
Many thanks!
Excellent captures! How wonderful nature is… 🙂
Glad that you like the pictures 🙂
These are great photos taken by your friend Mr Chung. It’s funny that people think these are your photos when you have acknowledged the photographer at the start. Maybe Mr Chung should enter the photo challenge. Regards
The truth is that many people don’t read the text -a reason now that I am writing shorter text.
Mr. Chung has decided many years ago not to enter into any photo competition/ challenge – he remains firmly so despite my recent encouragement!
Lovely capture. 🙂
Thank you!
Wonderful action shots, you timed them exactly right!
Thank you!
You’re welcome. 🙂
🙂
Wonderful captures, Michael. Split-second, indeed!
Thank you 🙂
wonderful landing
with regards
Thank you 🙂
