Well had to go take a few pics for a website i am working on and got board so went up the lakes for a look before i came home and got a couple of duck shots in. D2x, 70-200 Sigma.


Now if only i still owned a 12g shotty.

Cheers

just fantastic........

tack sharp around the face.

with a different b/g and sharp wings, these would have been wonderful shots cos they are exposed great also

Wonderful shots BBJ.

The D2x and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 are singing a great tune. Sigma chairman will be along shortly to congratulate you

I see that you are getting in practice for shooting the McCaws at Adelaide Zoo.

Lovely

Fantastic capture. Well Done. Shame the buggers will never fly towards you though

Beautiful captures John. Good to see your bike shot panning skills are multi-use!

Yup it is a duck. Nice capture BBJ, bet it was moving a little slower than the things you normally shoot.

Great Shots. I luv the way you have head and body in focus and the wings blurred to show movement. Bit unfortunate with the background coloring similar to duck. but as I said they are great shots

I have a good friend back in the USA who is an avid duck hunter and would love something like this.....we may talk

You are the duck king! beautiful images!

Mate we need to cut down some trees there so we get more light, and get rid of the kids and a couple of bigger people laughing at me and with big grins from ear to ear and we might give it another go next time.

Mate i am not sure about that, ok maybe not as fast at times but bloody smaller. I was at the lakes so if i had taken it any later would have been over water. Can be lucky sometimes but one things is for sure there are plenty of ducks up at the lakes here.

There's that 12g again, you are missing it

Great shot on the first one, love it.
