Duck Wednesday - Show and Tell - 02-01-2006, 06:57 AM


How about a little post what you've got thread?

Duck Wednesday!
Show me those ducks!
Any duck, and if you don't have ducks how about any water related item?

A few from me:
Black-bellied Whistling ducks
1/1250s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso400


Northern Shoveler Female
1/1000s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso400


Show me those ducks!

Sounds like fun. I'll play! Here are some of mine...

The first two were shot at the Houston Zoo (cheating?) and the last one was at a pond at Magnolia Creek golf course. Golf courses are great places for animal photos.

Hooded Merganser


Redhead


This one of the blue-winged teals was out of focus so I photoshopped it.

Iso 1600, 1/160s,F1.4.

Awesome people!

Patti, great shots really like the doo on the hooded merganser!
the redhead is sexy and love the photoshop image. I can use a technique for out of focus shots I've got a million!

snidow, when you get a chance that would be great!

CReb, love the sychronized swimming in Barton Springs!
Beautiful image quality!
Great subjects.

Gunther, lovely composition and sexy subject!
Beautiful image there, love those wood ducks.

Roy, good job of getting your ducks in a row!
Love the whistlers!
The wood duck is awesome and the mutant is scary.

Daniel, wonderful collection here!
The kids are alright!
Need to give us a cuteness alert before posting those!
Love the pose and the water dripping off the swan.
The next two are great poses and the goose shot is killer.
Perfection there.

Thanks everyone for participating in Duck Wednesday!
Anymore out there?
