Two Mallards and a Sunset

All late today, the two Mallards were both taken in late evening natural light, down at the Weirs and the sunset was on Lake Opechee.

Nice shots, Paul. Did you use your 400mm lens for the duck shots?

Yeah, both duck shots with the Canon 7D and EF400 f/5.6L lens. The sunset was with the 7D and EF 17-40 f/4.0L lens.

All wonderful shots Paul. Gotta love the clarity of the glass in the L lenses. Perfect control of the Depth of Field in both of the duck shots!

Beautiful framing with the shoreline and the shilouetted tree in the sunset. Love to see your images! Bravo!

Thanks for posting these pictures!
