We said the hell with cleaning up more limbs and went to the river for awhile. There were a few ducks and geese hanging out, and ofcourse I got a few pictures.

I cant do squat really since my main PC is down until next week, so a watermark and border will have to do:p

Those are some good pics! About how close are you to those ducks?

Anywhere from 20 yards to 100 yards

My oldest son was with me as usual. He is shooting a D40X Nikon with a Nikon 70-200 2.8

Amazing pics as always. I would love to see more eagle shots. I wish we had them around here.

I will keep an eye on the eagles, and as soon as I can target where they are spending time hunting, I will do my best to set up on them and get some good stuff...I hope:p

A few more from yesterday

I could spend hours checking out your photos Pappy. You are truly, truly talented! I don't think I've EVER seen such clear shots. Normally, I'm not one to admire and spend the time to view duck pictures, lol, but you just make them look so good! :D Do you get paid to do some of this stuff?

Thanks:p

Yes, I sell prints and mainly to companies that use them for advertising, calendars .....postcards etc. I dont just do it for the money though, if I did I would be broke as its a competitive market that allows no room for so-so shots. As long as the mortgage is paid I am happy:p
