Got my ducks in a row for the new year.

nice shot and a great idea.

I would like to see this same shot with a more crisp focus to it...

1/30th of a sec is a long time when ducks are moving across the water....

This is as crisp a focus as I could get and I wish it was better. I'm working on it. This was shot in the fog and at iso 100, one is limited with shutter speed, especially when panning.

Hi David,

I like your pic, ditto what Darren said. It's worth pursuing again. Just wondering, would your SS be much better at iso 400 while not compromising pic quality as much??? That's what I'd be thinkin :wavey:

Or maybe some bread crumbs so they come closer :razz:
