Barrow's Goldeneye...first post

[Jan Wegener]

Hey guys,

my first post here in this forum. I got this wonderful male on December 24th, standing with waders in the Pacific. I never had such cold feet !!! :D
Imagine the look of all people coming buy.....it was also really unbelieveable how close the ducks come when you are in the water. This is almost fullframe.

Taken with 1D Mark IIn + 4/600 L IS and 1,4 x TC

Jan, This is one sweet capture! Did you use a fill flash? Whites are great and I see few of these up this close. Bob

Wonderful portrait, Jan, if a bit tight at the top. Love the colors and sharpness.

Big welcome to BPN!!!

Nice to see you posting here Jan!

This is a stunning portrait. if I get a chance to come over to Van you have to show me where you got this ;)

Fantastic portrait Jan, amazing details here. Thanks for the tip of the waders... it would be great to see a picture of you on the waters with all those ducks swimmning around you ;-)

[Jan Wegener]

yeah, I would like to see one picture myself, there were dozens of people taking pictures of me, probably thought what an idiot :-)
Too bad I can't do one myself, while wading ;-)

Collect money from them for this spectacle :D or if they don't play ask them to send and image by e-mail;)
