    Fun with Ducks & Merry Christmas!

    Just for fun, and to wish all at Cambridge in Colour a Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukka/Happy Holidays, etc..

    And hopefully put a smile on your face...

    Fun with Ducks & Merry Christmas!

    SS 640 ISO 320 f/4 focal 300 mm

    A low shutter speed simply to see what I could manage in low light keeping a sense of motion, and keeping the ISO low... Clipping wings... still working on it.

    Thank you to everyone at C&C for being so wonderful!

    Thar's a good one Christina. You got the head really sharp even though the rest is OOF and wings blurred.

    Merry Christmas!

    Thanks everyone! Indeed, this duck has the "cute factor" in spades.

    Grahame... I'm afraid if given half the chance my husband would not hesitate to indulge his dark side and devour this duck, but it is not going to happen as long as I'm around.

    Merry Christmas to all! Until later... I need to attend to some cookies burning in the oven!

    Nick...

    I think you succeeded too, Christina, that is a cool shot and I thought it was great way of celebrating the festive season by sending a duck for Christmas dinner.

    Thank you Greg and Kim...

    Greg, this duck has a wife and family that depend on him. Grahame, I am hopeful that Mani doesn't end up on your dinner table!

    Now that is a duck that is looking to get home from work to the Wifey-poo and kids!

    No wonder on “The Twelve Days of Christmas” the first day was a Duck!

    Merry Christmas Christina!

    I think too many folks have Christmas dinner on mind. Or the angle I used made my duck look decidedly portly.

    Merry Christmas to you and and your family!
