Was getting ready to do a pano when all of a sudden.

Hi Woe, that was close!  What you captured is definitely astounding! Just be wary of your surroundings as you may be too indulge in capturing the moment. Safety first. Happy new year!

WOW, what a close call! Very nice capture and glad it turned out well for you.

Thanks. Glad it did as well. I'm still getting to know my zoom

Canada geese.

Those F'ers took down an Airbus A320, almost 10 years ago to the day, just a few miles from were I sit right now.

Winged rodents.

Canada Geese are not F'ers, nor winged rodents. They are an important part of the planet.

We are flying in and enjoying THEIR home, and we need to make sure we pay attention to what is around us when we plan to fly.

Make sure you pack a pair of binoculars in your flying kit and glass the entire area you plan to fly BEFORE you fly.

Close call.....
Duck and cover

OMG - now that was close mate.

Hahahaha but it turned out very interesting indeed,amazing and very good luck that nothing went wrong, well captured and thanks for sharing, BTW where was that?

i wonder if the pictures would have been that nice

Damn, that was close. I have a reflex of taking a evasive action straight up.

Hooo... don't get hit by those missile

Wow squeaky butt time, damn that was very close, delighted that's all it was and ended well.

Although no doubt this was a close call, I am wondering how many people actually had their drones actively attacked by a bird?
I mean, I am almost used to birds rounding my flyers but I never had a single incident in terms bird actually crashed the drone.
So, I guess they are kind of curious and not hostile.

I had it set for 3 shots. Hit it twice and then the record button. It happen so fast
I was surprise of what I captured.

My reflex was to grab some cool shots. When I thought of evasive action

I scroll the camera wheel. I got really lucky.

I think they were spook by a hawk or eagle, didn't seem to be attacking.

Yeah, cause they have no right to the sky... Canadian Geese are one of the few animals to come back from the brink of extinction.  This was almost caused by the rodent known as man.  Show a little respect...  Nice shots Woe, you got lucky brother.
