sequential flight 5 greylag goose take-off
Got a thing for sequential flight shots, I like the way they reveal the speed and motion required to get birds into the air combines with the way they shape themselves and use their muscles to get uplift.
I mean shaking off the inderterminate amount of both grip and resistance friction you get off water, then generating enough speed to get lift, and then capturing it to create the pressure difference, often with wingtips clipping the surface well nothing we experience comes close, unless of course you spend hours with your hand out of a car window feeling the effect of the wind. Which admittedly I used to do.
The subcast are a half asleep common shelduck and an about to be twice-trodden on coot.
I have to say, flight is a gift I envy them.
