Ducks Escaping the Storm

Ducks Escaping the Storm

Ominous weather finally caused this flock of ducks to take flight. I had waited quite some time for these birds to leave, however, it wasn’t until I removed my battery that they actually took off. I ran to my bag, grabbed another battery, took a breath and luckily still got this shot.

Taken with a Canon 7D, IS0 100, f2.8 in Av mode in Eden Prairie, MN.
