...in flight. Not much today...this was the third frame out of 300 and the rest is mostly useless. Still, I enjoyed myself!

    Whooohooo Mallards in flight!
    Good capture Ric. Those are always tricky, getting two birds in focus at once. Must have been stopped down a bit. It does sound like you enjoyed yourself. Coolio thumb.gif

    Kinda makes me want to market the old "I'd rather be taking pictures" bumper sticker. In other words, shooting mallards beats work any day! Well done!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    They were really closer together than this crop would make them appear to be. This was at f/6.3, I think.

    Thanks!:D
