Another picture from Cruisin' Hines (Wayne County, Michigan) from Sunday.
Where I was all set up to watch the launch. Just had to clear the treeline. Oh well, over the next few days some wildlife photos I took - just have to remember the month changeover.
It was at a training event. The fire department was allowed to do a controlled burn in an old house that was scheduled for demolition. These events allow newer firefighters and investigators an opportunity to observe fire behavior under controlled circumstances. The houses have to be prepared prior to the burn to reduce the environmental impact. This is why there aren't any shingles on the roof and the smoke is lighter in color (natural products burning instead of the darker colored smoke from synthetics/petroleum based products).
.. closeup view of one end of a length of decaying tree trunk - photo taken during an early-morning walkabout in local park recently.

This was taken 4 years ago, and we haven't seen her since, although we keep seeing offspring.

I remember when I was young, watching "Disney's Wonderful World of Color" and they had a shot of geese landing on ice, ending up going every which way. I remember that because it used to crack my father up.
Probably with the remote camera ap on her watch, you can set the delay so you are ready when it fires. Very handy, used it several times.I need to ask, how are you triggering the camera please?

Actually with the phone in my hand. 🙂
Snapbridge is an okay app. It allows me to set the aperture/ss on the phone, so I can adjust exposure after I get in place, or if the light changes, but it defaults back to AWB, which boggles my mind. It also never connects for more than 30 seconds the first time you open the remote app, but the second time it will stay connected for as long as you need. You can set it to a delay on the phone also, so I often use 3 seconds to get situated, especially if I am looking at the camera.
Sometimes I use the intervalometer. That way my initial settings don't change (like WB because I prefer to shoot in Kelvin) but of course you can't see how the image is framed, or change exposure without breaking the cycle. Last week's image (which I never shared) I used the intervalometer because I had the camera on the kitchen counter as my daughter and I were making something and I didn't want to be bothered with pressing a button every couple of seconds on my phone.
Both methods will autofocus for me as I move around, and I will typically set it to Wide-AF people for self portraits. If I'm shooting someone else I stick to single point AF and toggle. This particular image was with the Lensbaby Sol 45 so no AF at all.

It didn't dawn on me that you weren't using your phone for the shot. duh Well done.
The geese are pretty noisy when they're either taking off or coming in for a landing! In winter, yes, they are fun to watch when they come in and land on ice, or when they're trying to walk on it. They seem puzzled by why the surface is so slippery, and sometimes one will fall before he can catch himself. They're also startled when suddenly they're at the edge and break through the ice and land in the cold, cold water!
