You'll have to bare with me. I have been trying to master this duck thing and let me tell you, its alot easier to shoot one then it is to focus and stay focused and pull the trigger.

I love shots like that especially ones that can isolate the pellets just before death.

You gotta let me in on the wood duck spot. I hear about people shooting them a dime a dozen but I never see them where I go. I'd drive three hours to shoot one and have it mounted.

those pics almost make me want to spit out my last marble and take up duck hunting again

boneaddict · « **Reply #7 on:** December 23, 2009, 11:45:47 AM »

There are a lot fewer of them this year than normal. I about froze waiting for them to start moving. I could hear them talking but they were in the thick. I use a teal call to talk to them...kinda similiar.

awesome pictures bone, I just got a rebel xsi and a 22-50 lense hopefully I can take some pics like yours one day!!

boneaddict · « **Reply #13 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:01:40 PM »

THANKS! These were shot with the 70-200 and mostly on the low side as it was hard to get a focus with the big lens....

Great Pics Bone, i always look foreward to seeing your latest pictures, I have been struggling getting good shots of birds in the air. Are you shooting off a tripod/ monopod? or are you free handing it? Is your lense the 70-200 L series with IS? looking at upgrading lenses and have started to rent lenses at Glazers to get a better feel for them before I buy. As always gret work.

Austrian Hunter · « **Reply #15 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:08:13 PM »

Awesome, really cool. 70-200 that's a serious lens

boneaddict · « **Reply #16 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:30:08 PM »

Yep, thats the one Holg.

boneaddict · « **Reply #17 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:35:52 PM »

Not sure who was puckering more. Me or her......Full frame, no cropping.

Ripper · « **Reply #18 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:37:32 PM »

Wow Bone, you have quite a talent there. I'm very impressed. I saved a couple of those pics to send my pop-in-law, in Indiana. He'll love them. Good job, I look forward to the next batch.

boneaddict · « **Reply #19 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:40:53 PM »

Thanks Ripper and everyone.......had trouble not wanting to blast these guys....... Just instinct to want to throw up and pull.....

I saw three other species of ducks and one real rare one for these parts, but didn't get them on film. Maybe sometime I can get free this week.

Nice Bone! I love waterfowl shots, what was the rare spieces?

MtnMuley · « **Reply #23 on:** December 23, 2009, 02:28:20 PM »

Never noticed the amount of blue in a woodducks wings. Nice!

I saw a Harle today, and I have never seen one on this side of the mountains, this far south. I know they nest up north in the Methow on rare occasions, but I never see them around here. I hope he hangs around.

Hey Bone, we have a gaggle of Harley's up here along the bays. I see them almost everytime I go out in my boat.

We are a long ways from any Bay.
