A trip today to the Levington Lagoon, on the river between Ipswich and Felixstowe. This lagoon was created to compensate for wetlands reclaimed to extend the Felixstowe docks. There's a cormorant colony there, and a wide variety of ducks and geese. These Canada Goose goslings were unbelievably cute and fluffy! The lovely bright sunshine allowed me to select both a quck shutter speed, freezing the geese and the water, and a small aperture, helping it all stay in focus, while still using the maximum ISO for best colour saturation. Lightroom easily compensated for the high contrast by applying a quantity of "Fill Light". However, the bright reflections off the water, and being at full zoom (and then cropped in Lightroom), mean some loss of detail, especially in the outlines.
