Just perfect! I love this one. I have been trying to get one just like this…a mallard in flight with snow…but not quite satisfied yet.
UmbieArt replied
David – Thanks! I shot this last winter…I haven’t got a good one this year…yet! :-) Mike

amazing photo. what settings did you use? and what lens? It looks like it was 5 feet away
UmbieArt replied
Tallow – Thanks! This was taken with a Canon EF 100-400mm 1:4.5-5.6 L IS lens at 250mm. The basic settings: F/7.1 1/1250 sec. ISO-400 and spot metering. The image is cropped a bit. I was much further than 5 feet away. :-) Mike
