Congratulations to aboutthelight for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 15 votes - View Previous Winners


I have been trying to get better photos of some of our local sea ducks this winter. Getting these birds close to shore and in nice evening light is never easy. Here are a few of my favorite of the season so far. Hope you enjoy viewing as much as I did making the images.





Red-breasted Merganser with D850 and 500 PF







Female Bufflehead with D850 and 500 PF







Long-tailed Duck with D850 and 600F4 + 1.4x iii







Female Black Scoter with D850 and 500PF

As a long time Canon shooter the Nikon gear feels like cheating. Eapecially the 500 PF. You get great image quality and auto focus. Just up to the operator to make a beautiful shot.

Good looking set! Looks like the bufflehead turned its head slightly to check you out. Well done.

I can see why you like these. So do I. See you switched horses with gear. Apparently, the 500PF suits you for BIF.

All my gear was stolen while on vacation so it was easy to switch after I was reimbursed by insurance. The lens is so small and light and sharp that it is a dream to shoot with.

Did you use a flash on these? I have been trying to get a shot
like that of a rb merganser for years. Awesome!
