He's Back - Let's Get Him!

Since today we are under fog and drizzle, I returned to the many photos taken on Sunday. This was one of my favorites. The geese suddenly appeared and I was so glad they were in focus and the fellow was still on the pier. You can see that the ice that day was along the shoreline and inlets while the rest of the lake was just cold.
PS -- in extras album, you can see an ariel view of where I was taking this shot, as seen from the Hancock Observation Deck (which is inside, by the way): http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2018-01-10
@ukandie1 I went back to the Lake Michigan walk...still so many photos to go through!

The icy water has some lovely colourings and form! I see the geese now in this shot but couldn't see them in the other long distance shot!

Ha ha ha, I laughed out loud when I read your title! Apply scary music and a few seconds later the next shot is the guy running for his life, hat flying off!

@maggiemae The difference being on the beach versus being in a skyscraper on the 95th floor 2 days later...hadn't even realized I'd taken the long-lens skyscraper shot of the place where we'd seen the geese til a few days after both!

What a fabulous shot - the angled geese seem to be superimposed on all of those horizontal lines.

Great in flight capture of the geese, with great blue waters and darker clouds in the background

@skipt07 Not so much pressed the shutter with the right timing, but took a burst of a bunch of images and this one fortunately was clear!

@taffy - You still started the sequence of shutter activations!

Oh, this is pretty fun... nice shutter activation. Your title says it all!

One of those "happy accident" shots plus the fact that you really know what you're doing with your settings! Great shot.

The blues make this such a wonderful shot with the lines and the birds.
