“I coulda been a contender” but instead, I’m photographing wildlife … on the waterfront.

For those too young to remember, “On The Waterfront” won 8 Academy Awards in 1954 including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Those words were spoken by Marlon Brando, Best Actor. One of my all time favorite films. Enough nostalgia !

I spend as much time as I can photographing wildlife near or on water. This past weekend, I spent two days chasing down huge flocks of Snow Geese. Although both days were bright and sunny, I was disappointed with my results. I’ve got a lot to learn about white balance and taking photos of white subjects in bright sunlight. But here are a few photos I’ve salvaged out of the many Snow Geese photos I took. They will soon be departing for points farther north.

Photo #1 ….. This sight was quite common. A photograph does not do the actual experience any justice. It is an awesome sight !!!
