Inner Harbour Flyby
A moment before the 3rd photograph in this triptograph, I heard the distinctive flapping of geese wings. I raised my camera up and fired off a dozen quick shots of this Christmas scene in Victoria's inner harbour from the Songhees walkway.
I should have noted my shutter speed in the viewfinder was only 1/30th second. A quick switch to f/2.8 would have pushed my shutter speed fast enough to freeze these geese's motion. As it was, my slower shutter speed left them blurred, which I don't mind, as it does convey motion.
Shot on my Nikon D600 with my 50mm f/1.4D lens, f/3.5 for 1/30 second at ISO 500. I love the speed that this lens gives me, but it's noise is a little excessive for my tastes. I guess I've gotten spoiled shooting Nikon's expensive glass.
