Play what, Dan
However, that is a very pleasing shot to my eye.

Thanx, Cam.....I wish I could share your enthusiasm for that picture.

Do you have a pond full of remote controlled ducks in your backyard? Or are you some kind of bird whisperer? They pose for you!


Just your ordinary stunt ducks.......a few duck farms in Ontario sell them cheap.

Some Fall(en) leaves behind a dark eyed junco.

Some great fall shots so far. Really like your aspen shot Dan!

Dan -- Really like that one, and thanks for the technical info.

Autumn light is so warm and nostalgic, just strolling along catching moments with whatever gear is in hand...

I probably put this up on last year's thread, but its a good place to start this year:

Today I went out with a fast lens hoping to get some fallish bokeh, however, not much opportunity that way.
Managed to snag some stunt pijuns in action, although I didn't quite have the "reach" for it.

1DsMkII + 70-200 f/2.8 IS MkII.

PetKal,

Paticularly admire the wonderful colours in the first two images, really jump out of the monitor, beautiful iridescent tones!

Thank you, David....that is one of our nicests birds.
Quite often I desaturate and lower brigtness/contrast on their heads in order to avoid the photoshopped Amazonian parrot look.

Here one can see the drake's head in more detail ( 1DX + 800L)

Some fall color...

Love it.

First autumn colors.

Nice contrast...

As always some awesome images in this thread. So awesome that when my wife saw me drooling over them she joined in & we went back through the pages. That's a first so you're really posting great eye candy. Here's a couple more from last Sunday's air show.

Last weekend CO119 north of Blackhawk Colorado. Canon 5d2 and 24-105LIS.
