p.1 #1 · Shoveler on the go

This male Northern Shoveler had taken off from the small part of Oakland Lake that dose not freeze as it's spring fead by 55f water. I caught in an opening between some bushes and trees. The background is out of focus Phragmites.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Thank you Bruce,
People keep raising the recommended shutter speed for flight images.

Interesting about the 55f water and good strategy to get into position. Excellent NS image Morris.

Very nice, Morris. As others have said, great detail despite the shutter speed and an oncoming target.

Thank you Gero. People have been upping the recommended shutter speed for flight photography now that we have sensors that allow for much higher ISO. Sometimes I like to go slower and how more wing blur.
