Dizzy Ducks (actually geese)

This time, a couple of dizzying shots using the 18 - 200 mm lens.

The bokeh gets noticeably more intense at greater zoom, in this case exacerbated by the reflected light, the moving water and the slow shutter speed (VR accommodates camera vibration, not a moving environment).

At an extreme this could be used to make deliberately artsy photos. A faster shutter speed and polarizing filter would have flattened the photos into dull shots of geese.
