Fast ducks

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Some of these ducks need to slow down. Looks awful dangerous flying so fast. The USM got a workout today. Had 190 frames today and 148 keepers! Here is a couple.

Two beautiful shots, redheads and pintails are two of my favorites! Excellent work MM!

Very nice. But, 148 keepers out of 190 shots? That's incredible. I'd say, you had a good day.

Thanks Dan. They are my 2 favs also. They seem to catch the light better than most and offer good contrast for the old Canon to lock onto.

Thanks X. I was lucky to be in a good spot where the dorks kept getting up and swinging past right in front of me.

It was mode 2,400mm all day. Know what I mean? The way my shoulders feel,I am re-thinking a 400 2.8-ugh!

I have an absolute killer Redhead shot,but I sent a small preview of it to a friend,and he agreed to buy a large print [for a good price-finally!] if I keep it to myself.

Those are incredible shots man! Yep, them are very FAST!

You got em nice and tight! Great pics!

Oooh Those are NICE!! I love that pintail shot especially. I don't think I've seen pintails on the forum before. Both of those are incredible. Out of 190 I usually get about 5 keepers, I'd say you had a good day. Congrats on the Redhead sale!!

Redheads and pintails! We don't often get to see these this far east, even during the spring. Reminds me of my days hunting at Delta Marsh, though! Both are great, but I REALLY like the pintails!

Those are great BIF shots! Sweet work, MM.

What's that about 2,400mm mode and the 400 f2.8?

Nice images! That is typical of spring ducks... alot of males chasing one female.

Sweet Pics, some of the best i've seen. Keep up the good work!

Great shots. I like the pintail pic. I've never seen pintails in the wild.

Awesome photos!!

[MARINERMAGNUM]

A sincere thank you to all who like them.

Having people enjoy them is just as much fun as getting them.

Love the pintails. We don't see those up our way. I may have to head your direction to find a few. Keep those coming. I love seeing them.

Haven't headed SW yet, huh Michael?

MARINERMAGNUM awesome pictures. I used the pintail photo as a screensaver. Keep sharing your talent.
