A beautiful capture, David ~ the effect on the water is magical and feather-like also! Cheers, Coco

Many thanks for that, Coco. Yes, the water certainly adds to the shot. But, it the duck that is so photogenic  I just point and shoot!

Cheers

OMG!  Is that duck actually SAILING?

Okavanga In reply to russellcattle [2017-01-28 07:21:45 +0000 UTC]

Good point about sailing - those parts are known as sails and I expect on a breeze they would afford some movement, but as with all ducks the main mode of movement is paddling with webbed feet.

Many Thanks

David

Thank you, Rob. Yes, I have acquired the latest M5. Overall, so far very good. I'm just concerned a bit about noise at 800 plus ISO. Maybe this will be addressed in a firmware update.

Cheers

I think the ripples and reflection are bonuses, Mayumi. Just trying to capture the full tonal range of the duck is the prime concern.

Many Thanks - I'm very pleased you like it.

They are very photogenic, Alice, but can be quite aggresive when needs be.

Many Thanks
