GBH - 3

Description

Yesterday afternoon I had few hours to explore a near by lake/park, so I took my small camera bag (leaving Sigma 150-500mm at home) and reached at the park around 3:00PM. It was mostly cloudy and a cold day, so wasn't expecting much. The lake was almost frozen. I could see few swans, geese and gulls at distance and thought I should have brought my 150-500mm as 300mm wasn't going to be enough at that distance.

After about 45 minutes in the cold, I was almost getting ready to leave, when I saw this GBH land on frozen lake not more than 20 feet from me. There were 2 other people besides me (one with Nikkor 500mm f/4 prime lens) and all of a sudden all of us got busy as our model had landed. :)

In few minutes sun also came out for some time, so setting sun was giving us all the lighting support we needed. This GBH was there for next 20-25 minutes to keep us busy. This is one of the picture I took yesterday.
