caution.......lots of pics

[Dick Sargeant]

Wanted to share some different shots, have been trying for some group shots -

Here are a couple for Pat -

There is a pair of swans on this pond that abide all the ducks but hate other swans of geese. One poor single canada came in and then had to scoot right out -

Also working on singles -

And I am trying to learn some new settings with mixed results but it's a ton of fun -

And in closing let me share this one -

If you made it this far, my thanks and I hope you like em, and I promise to cease this for a while !

Dick, you have taken it to a whole new level. Absolutely wonderful shots. Love the swan running acroos the water, apparently chasing the canada out of the area.
Please keep them coming.
Were you in the TDB? Were you able to get your "lovely assistant" to take the tiller?

Best - Paul

PS Sorry I couldn't join you guys at the DU banquet, hope you had a good time.

Hi Paul - We had a very nice time, got to meet several DBDN guys and got to meet the guys running the event, volunteered to help next year and then won a nice carved can and a large gift certificate to beans................too much !

Dick, I think you got it figured out! What lens are you using, are the shots cropped and how close were you? Trip

 

[Dick Sargeant]

Dave, Chad, John, David, Bob, Al, Luke and Trip thanks you all for the kind words and I am glad you enjoyed these shots.

Trip - I use a canon 400, 5.6 and a canon 50 D. Distances varied between 10 yards and about 80-100 yards.

WOW! Wait till Laurie sees these! The quartet of beauties in the first shot is awesome, crisp!
Thank You!

 

[Andrew L.]

Very impressive Dick. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Those black ducks shots are cool. It's a close call between the first and last single drake mallards that I like best.

Yeow, Sarge! Just looked through all of them. Take tour duck & goose "tooters" on the next trip. I'm sure nobody here wants you to "Cease & desist."

Your photos are simply breathtaking. Please don’t stop!!
