Hello everyone.
A couple of months back there was a bunch of these at a nearby lake. I had never seen one in person an was very excited to try an photograph them.
I quickly found out that they are very, very skittish ducks. I crawled under some brush and set my gear on top of laying tree. Even then I had to be
very still and quite. It was a fun experience, but managed few keepers.
My only time to shoot this ducks was during my lunch time so light was not all that great. Never managed a good shot of male. I had many exposure
problems. Maybe next year.
C&C welcomed and encouraged.
