Here's the latest from my favorite pond... nice to see the ducks starting to return.

D300 | 300 f/4 w 1.4 TC | Exif Intact

Thanks so much for having a look. All C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated.

Beautiful set Kirk.
You really got down low for the last three, great angles there.
The first two are my favourites for the lovely light and colors.

For a guy with a 'short thingy' you sure get nice/excellent images Kirky-man!

Proof given that properly dialed in and in experienced hands the results from quality glass and a TC can rock!!

I know you even give up some focus speed so you must be locking on quickly to target. Fine work my friend and #2 is a sweetly handled exposure with fine detail and a maaaaaarvelous BG

Down low and at the waters edge is your trademark, you are in your zone once again and it is a pleasure to see and brings me satisfaction to know that you got to do 'what you like to do'

Impressive and enjoyable................!

These are all very nice Kirk. 2 is my pick, but only because it is more colorful ~ Ron

Thanks for the gracious words Rob, most appreciated. I do pay a lot of attention to positioning myself for good BG's because it makes a huge difference IMHO.
