I knew the lake was a great place to get pics. I had an idea I was probably going to get pictures of birds. Instead of looking for a particular bird, I drove to the north end of the lake and found a gaggle of geese (if that is the right term) and a few ducks swimming by. To make it interesting, I decided to find a spot on shore, and instead of focusing on a specific bird, I would let the geese and ducks come near me to see what kind of shots I would get.
I had to be patient, but it was a great experience to see what would happen. I used the telephoto lense and used manual focus. I wish I would have used automatic because it's a lot easier but it was fun to experiment with focusing my own shots. I noticed that I had picked a horrible spot for taking pictures, because all the birds were swimming in the opposite direction I wanted them to. After twenty minutes or so, some started swimming closer to me and I snapped a way.
