Geese on Derwentwater

Settings - Aperture Priority, 130mm, f/4.5, 1/25sec, ISO320

I hoped to get loads of landscape pictures today, after visiting Keswick in the Lake District. Unfortunately, my meeting finished about 10 or 15 minutes too late, so the sun was already dipping below the mountains. The jetty into the lake also faced due West - directly into the sun - so exposing the dark side of the mountains and the bright sky was almost impossible.

So I took off the 28-80 and put on the 70-300 lens, and concentrated on the wildlife instead... it was still hard to get sharp photos due to the lack of light. This one was taken in burst mode off a tripod. It's still a touch soft, I suppose. Not too bad though.
