I just went quackers over these photos! What great shots you got! What stunning specimens you got! It never ceases to amaze me at how brilliantly these ducks' markings are.
I can already see the markings on the little ones. I really like the shot with the turtle next to the baby. :)
You rock nature! These are fabulous! Great to see you posting again!
Thanks @dswigle they are colorful aren't they lol.
I'm going back in a few days to image them a little better. I was down at the pond to check the redwood sky walk they built back in the forest behind the pond so I was set up to shoot wide angle landscapes with a fixed 28mm lens, then the kids start yelling ducklings on my way by and I see the wood ducks. It was late in the day and I didn't have a lot of time.. so I just popped on the 650mm flipped it off custom settings to shutter priority, cranked up the shutter speed and started shooting.
The ducklings napping on the turtle was a hoot you couldn't see them very well out on the island, I ended up letting a few people take turns looking through my camera with the telephoto lens so they could get a good look and sent a few images of them from my camera to their phones via bluetooth.
I haven't checked back to see if you got them again! Shame on me. That was such a fabulous post, when I finish my comments, I will check! :))
No not yet but I have to hurry on the ducklings as they grow up fast.
I'm shooting for this Monday as the park is closed to vehicle traffic and not many people there.
That's perfect!! I love when it all works out like this!
I look forward to it! No pressure, of course! :))
No problem the hurry factor is from mother nature, those ducklings will be ducks in a couple a weeks lol
Yrs! I get that! Nature stops for nobody.
See you in a wile. I'm going to log and finish the edit on the columbines and drop that flower post. =)
Yes!! Thank you!! :))
