Just couldn’t resist!!

Went for a drive today to visit friends down at the beach “lennox Head”
We were sitting down for morning tea when this guy came wondering over.
Out of a caravan park of maybe 1000 people he some how picked me to come to.
I still think the D70 is a duck magnet!!!!!!

Hope you like????

Cheers
Ray

Nice shots - D70's are Duck & Seagull magnets...

Certainly seems as though D70's are popular with the birds. My experiences are consistent with this. :lol:

Nice shots as always Ray!

Raydar,

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it must be a duck :!:

Great shots though.

Cheers,

Nice shots, what lens? Duck head in focus, grass behind is not - very short DOF suggests it's a tele. Lack of chromatic abberation suggests to me it's not the 70-300G.

BTW, anyone else notice that ducks don't seem to have ears?

That's why they don't come when you call them.

You can avoid this problem by fitting a duck filter.

or a wok and a "san choy bow" course after Peking duck :lol:

Excellent duck pics

My APO II arrived today - Thanks Birdy and Mr. Poon

I arrived home in darkness so too late to try out, but it looks like a terrific lens Raydar.

Will post some images as soon as possible

Just have to practise quacking to lure the ducks to my place

Quack .... quack ..... quack

Glad to hear that you've got it!
I emailed you this morning and this afternoon, thought you were away on the shopping trip with the wife again.

Oh dear, another one of those embarrasing moments when people in the house wonder what on earth is so hilarious! :oops:

Well done, and I'm angling for the latter, followed by Birdy's suggestion. :lol:

Love the 2nd shot with the 50 1.8 too, gorgeous!

Sorry Birdy. Will check now!!!!!

Yep - was dragged out on escort / bag carrying / and sundry chauffeur duties and ended up at Harbour Town near the Gold Coast unfortunately.

Luckily the damage was very light. *Phew*

Great shot Ray, the first shot looks like it will tap you on the lens
