Fuji S602 + B-300 (357mm equivalent), ISO 200, 1/320, f 3.6

I had the pleasure of spending about an hour with a large Canadian Goose family made up of 14 goslings mom and dad. At first they were concerned by my presence but after about 15 minutes they came to accept me. This is one of 420 photos I took of them. Is the strong light too powerful for the gentle subject?

I had hoped to post this photo about a week ago, but was delayed by an unexpected stay in the hospital. I had gone in for a stress test as I have been having chest pain. They injected me with the isotope for the photos of my hart and instructed me to sit in the waiting room. About a minute later I felt nauseous and then awoke to a crowd of doctors and nurses hovering over me. The short story is that I was given CPR and responded quickly, they did not need to use the paddles. I have had a full work up and was found to be in excellent health. They feel that I had a reaction to the isotope or had a vascular reaction. I’ve been left with a cut up nose, a very saw head as I landed on it and a saw chest from the CPR. All in all I’m glad to be alive and able to share this story with my family and friends. I was not shore weather to post this hear but since I have made a lot of friends hear I figured I would share.

Sincerely,

Morris
 
Morris, so glad your experience in the hospital had a happy ending. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to stop and think what would have happened if it had been otherwise, and to be thankful for the health we do enjoy.

Your experience with the goose family is unique, too. The goslings look so natural. When you are in this kind of situation you can't tell the model to turn so more light hits them from another angle!! Would like to see others from the collection of 420! Joan

I very much like the low lighting, displays their fluffiness really well.

Sorry to hear of your hospital drama, I hope you're feeling very much better now.

As Joan said, things like this, once the drama has passed, help to get life in perspective sometimes. I've been told I might have cancer twice in the last six months in unrelated problems - both turned out not to be, one I only got the okay on this week after some very hurried hospital attendances myself - and it really is good sometimes to be reminded about what is actually important - some things just aren't worth fretting over, expend your energy on what matters and live life to the full. I'm glad, now my immediate stress is over with (although I'm still scheduled for two operations in short order) that I hopefully have sorted out some priorities in my life and I hope I'll approach with the future more positively as a result.

So take the opportunity to sit down and count your blessings, I'm sure you have many. I know I have.

Morris good to hear you are well!

Even though I am new to these forums, I have come to learn that when I see a "morris post" it will contain information I can benefit from.
Stay Healthy

morris,
Glad to hear all is well with you, and there are no major problems.

I like the lighting on that pic, it highlights the goslings down and gives a very natural look to it.
Take care and thanks for sharing, Ted

Well, Morris, the photo is lovely. The light is just right, I'd say.

I'm very happy to hear that you will be well and sorry to hear of the stress you (and your family) have experienced.

Morris,

Nice goslings first of all.

Secondly, I am glad you are recovering from your unpleasant incident at the hospital. It isn't too good when you go for tests and end up feeling worse from them. LOL. You sound like you had a lucky escape and we wish you better health from now on.

As a specialist in rad safety I can tell you it's BS. There may not be any acute reaction to the amount of rad material they inject. And definitely not such pronounced cardio-vascular. But the important thing is they did not find anything wrong with you.

Sorry that you've been unwell Morris & glad to hear you're on the mend.

Stress and associated ailments are such a problem in todays world when we are all rushing to get a dozen things done at once but you know what? your picture brings a real sense of serenity, I too would love to see some more from this shoot.
Best wishes, Jackie
 
Yes Joan, I’ve done a lot of reflecting and looking forward.

Shooting in the wild is tricky. I moved around with this family as they ate, slept, played, and went for a walk. I inched up on the nest to take this photo and worked hard not to disturb them. During the hour shoot I only got close enough for dad you yell at me one time. I looked at him at said “you have a lovely family, I would not think of hurting them.” He looked at me with a strange look and I went about my busyness taking photos.

I will be posting more from this shoot.

Thank you Ted,

When I compare the look of this goslings in this hard light verses the soft look they have in the soft light, I wondered if this was an error. I’m glad to hear that works so well.
