Dragging Tailfeathers
Mallard Duck on final, I love how the water rippled on the far right from the inital tailfeather touchdown. I just wished I would have gotten the entire reflection. This was taken at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, during a photo shoot with fellow bubbler Joel Hall

“C’mon Cougar..Lets land the plane!....... Cougar?...COUGAR!!!”
“Goose, Cougars in trouble”
“No Mave.. we do not have the fuel for this!”
(assorted aircraft noises consistant with retracting landing hook and taking off again)
“Goddamn it…. You tell him to LAND THAT PLANE”
“Ghostrider, you are ordered to land immediately”

I just knew you were going to post something similar to this. Priceless! You have some memory my friend! The Sigma 50-500mm can be quite decent for shots like these. Pretty happy with that lens.

Fabulous! I love these ducks and you got him so perfectly! My husband has been shooting them lately- I know how difficult getting the settings and timing right is- this is fabulous! I have yet to attempt this kind of shot!
