As some of you may know, I recently made a move from Canon to Nikon. This is my first official image post using Nikon gear. This male Canvasback made a very close approach to me the other day, and I got frames before and after he got dirty; I think the muddy frames give him a little more character and tell a story about his behavior. FYI I had the ISO dialed up a bit because I was set up for flight shots.
Nikon D850, 600mm + 1.4x, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO 1000, manual exposure, hand held
