[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I came back yesterday on the Seine river where I took this shot last june. Less than three months, and the eight little mallards following their mother are now nearly adults, always close to the others, and totally independant for their food.
It's nearly september now, but the aquatic population is still in the middle of the summer torpor. Not much movement, not much to shoot, so I went back in my files and found this cute caring mallard, who can be proud of her 8 babies.
Here's the cutest for you!
------------------------
I guess it's not necessary to add some words about the Anas Platyrhynchos, perhaps the most represented bird on TN :-)
------------------------
Camera was set on "sport" mode, in case of birds flying, that explains the unnecessary 1/2000, the large aperture and the useless high ISO value. I guess I'm not the only one who captivated by a scene, forgets to reajust his camera settings...

Jolie photo de famille Jean Michel, Les détails du plumage des oiseaux est bon ainsi que les contraste de brun et beige. Bonne netteté. Pour ce qui est du réajustement des setting, je suis un peu comme toi et il m'arrive assez souvent d'oublier de faire les modifs. Pour y remédier, j'utilise plus les fonctions préprogrammés de mon appareil. Je passe en mode priorité ouverture ou celle de la vitesse d'obturation. Je ne suis pas assez compétent pour utiliser le mode full manuel!!! Mais en utilisant l'un des mode priorité je dois ajuster fréquemment l'autre valeur afin d'avoir l'exposition approprié. C'est ma façon de faire sans doute pas la meilleur, mais ça me va. Bye et merci

Good sharpness and details Jean. A very well composed scene, with mom hovering over her babe in the frame. And you're correct about the settings..You are not the only one! I like it, Well done.

Sébastien a raison : jolie photo de famille ! Compris pour le 1/2000. Le cliché a du piqué. Les couleurs et la luminosité me paraissent agréables. La scène en vue rapprochée est attendrissante. Compliments Jean Michel.

Excellent shot Jean Michel, great lighting, details and sharpness, exellent colours and contrast. Very well done, thanks for sharing

Very nice, Jean M.
High cure-factor. The mallard have an eye on the duckling.
Well composed, good POV and details.
Very well done.

Hi Jean-Michel, very nice scene. The little one is very cute and I like the inclusion of the mother keeping an eye on events.

Well done.

C'est vrai que le temps passe vite, Jean-Michel. Nous devons apprendre à gérer le peu qu'il nous reste et faire des choix parfois difficiles.

Belle photo bien réussie. J'aime bien cette diagonale courbée fournie par les deux becs. Une excellente composition. Le regard attentionné de la maman nous ramène vers le bébé. Les bébés sont les êtres les plus forts au monde, ils exigent et obtiennent le meilleur de nous.

Merci.

Hi Jean Michel,
Great shot of the mother and her little one. The cutness factor is big in this one. Everything looks great. Nice Shot!

Indeed, Jean-Michel, too fast.

Great and cute scene.

As for the settings, I often forget to change them when the situation changes.
