About Linda This Ducks For You! This is a thankyou for always giving me high praise with my duck shots, And probably the only person on UF that loves them as much as me.

The Title is due to the fact that this duck made two trips by me slowly before this shot getting ready to land.

Thanks ron, sorry I never saw your question. The trick is to shoot continuously and sooner or later you will hit something :) Actually just putting yourself in the right place at the right time and good panning..
Thanks again..

Very nice portfolio. What is the trick in your timing? Knowing when / where they will land?

Wonderful shot and great dedication... Love the details of the duck...They are astonishing and you managed to captured a very nice flying position... The look of the water in the background give a great sense of the speed... I wish I could take an image of a flyin bird so sharp... but still practicing... :)

Great work my friend...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Count me in as another duck lover. This one is especially fine. The colors and textures are marvelous, especially that softness in the wing. Great stuff . . .

It's obvious you can charm them, Marcus. I wouldn't be surprised if you could bend spoons without touching them too. Pure magic!

I love ducks as well. Tried a lot to get them on photo, but I was never really successful in flight.

This is really a very nice catch, they are very beautiful birds.

Hi Marcus,

Now that is what I wanted my duck to do! But, she wouldn't budge :) It's funny, they seem to have a personality. I think it's that duck face:)
