Learnt a lesson yesterday - check that you have a full battery before heading out to a new location. I set up and switched on the camera only to see it blinking at me saying 8% left. Got about 15 minutes of shooting before camera said good by.

1d MK 4, 500mm, 1/1000 @ 5.6. ISO 640, EV +1 1/3.

Thanks Tom

Glad it held up for this image. Very nice detail and reflections. Was it ataken from land/tripod or from a boat?

Tom indeed this looks almost similar to our Common Pochard female. beautiful light low POV

It was taken from land with a tripod. These guys were very tame so this is almost FF at 500mm.

SHarp with nice detail. Looks a bit too bright to me.
