My Morning with Geese - Ottawa River

I spent two exciting, action-packed hours early this morning with several hundred Canada Geese who were on the Ottawa River heading south. I was working on my tripod panning and focusing technique. I'm learning a lot about this big, beautiful bird that is so loved and not-loved far and wide.
I didn't do any colour-grading or other video editing on the footage other than applying slow motion in certain places. The white balance was set to Daylight giving the slight bluish cast which captures the atmospheric mood this morning.
Camera: Nikon D500
Lenses: Nikon 200-500/5.6, Nikon 16-85mm
Resolution/Frame Rate: 1080p 60fps
Edited in: Davinci Resolve
Music: From a collection of royalty free instrumental music that I purchased the use rights to years ago.

The more I watch Canada geese, the more I admire them- their beauty, their incredible flight, the sound of their calling, their courage in the face of predators (especially when protecting their young). Stepping around their poop is a small price to pay.

Well said, Mary... a small price indeed!
