Photo Of The Day By Timothy Minnick

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Snow Geese” by Timothy Minnick. Location: Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico.

“Snow geese in flight just after dawn at Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge,” describes Minnick. “Panning while using a shutter speed that blurs the moving wings while still keeping the birds’ bodies reasonably sharp was key to this image.”

Canon 7D, Canon 500mm F4 IS L lens. Exposure: 1/40 sec., f/5.6, ISO 400.
