Geese Taking Flight (slow motion)

Note the 3D footprint splashes in the water, the beautiful motion of the wings and the feathers, and the coordinated movements of the geese. This video was made at 300 frames per second (one-tenth of real-time speed) with a Casio EX-F1 at Hopen Hills Farms in Woodbury, Connecticut.

cool, I seen a camcorder that shoots this fast, but only short bursts.

A little overexposed towards the light, but very cool

Excellent video....I posted one on here I just shot today (4/6/09). I need to work to get a better shot so mine can be as good as yours! Great job!

I think the coordination is what I find most impressive. Just beautiful.
