Nice early evening light, sitting on the ground hand-holding and bracing the lens with my knees. Not the most sophisticated field technique, but it seemed to work this time.
1D4, EF400mm f/5.6L
Manual mode, f/5.6@1/400 ISO 640 WB 5100K
AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash
Kerry;
This is really nice, the duck is very sharp, well exposed, soft light, sweet.
The silver in the water plays well with his blacks and whites.
Your tech. worked well.
Now, laying on your belly would have been even lower, if not as dignified :S3:
Cheers

nice image Kerry,nice pose,love the water,nice and sharp and good exposure.
sweet shot Kerry, love the details and low angle. congrats on the MK4, it's a big step up and you'll soon fall in love with it!
Stunning water and detail in the blacks Kerry, that eye stands out beautifully too, awkward shooting positions suit you well it seems
What a fantastic exposure. Detail in both the light and dark areas. Very well done.
Beautifully composed image!
Kerry - great comp, details and exp. I love the swirls in the water too.
TFS,
Rachel
Thanks for comments all, much appreciated!
Arash, I am loving the 1D4! Saving my pennies (lots of them) for the new 600! If there is a Santa Claus he knows what I want this year... :c3:
Love it! I usually prefer lower angles but here this higher vantage point works wonderfully to highlight the beautiful texture in the water! Great techs, and I love the subdued light. A treat for the eyes!
