[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello friends, my today's photos (there is another
one in the workshop too) are images of
the Mallard Duck taking off from the water,
the first one (this one) is from my 2006 archives,
photo shot with my Fujifilm compact camera,

the second one in the workshop was shot with my
Nikon compact camera, and like my yesterday's post
(the one in the workshop) i missed the focus and
the camera gives me an amazing effect

instead of writting in my this post some notes
on the Mallard Duck, i will give you some
interseting links to go and read

Hi Asbed,

I see shots like this and realise I need a lot more practise, what a excellent capture, you can really get a sense of speed with the OOF background, and the Mallard just looking beautiful with full wing extension, stunning work, all the best,

Cheers Rick :)

Did you just start doing this or what? Two in a row..I am not looking at dates right now so I don't know but this is just super for you Asbed. You must be pretty pumped up by these fantastic shots. I know I am!

Hi Asbed

You have really achieved an excellent result here -the speed of flight is evident in this picture, plus the mallard is very sharp.

James

Hi Asbed,

Good focushed picture of the Mallard in flight.
Good efffect also.

Hello Asbed,

I am amazed by this!
A stationary duck, a rapidly moving b/g!
The effect is eye-catching!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bellissima cattura in volo con un buon effetto panning, molto bella la composizione ambientata in cui il ramo forma un "arco di trionfo" per il passaggio, buona nitidezza. In WS un'immagine "artistica". Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Asbed,
Great job again of panning to create a strong sense of movement. You've combined a relatively slow shutter-speed & tracked the mallard well with nice focus..Not easy to do.
Well done,
Howard

Hi Asbed,you know how i think about this kind of pic...just my best compliments and thanks for share,Luciano

Bonjour Asbed,

Bravo

Hi Asbed,

You have done it again! A wonderful shot of this Mallard in flight. The same effect as your last post with the subject frozen and the background appearing to be what is moving. How do you do this? Beautiful colors and details and another job well done.

Hi,
On the road now with slow connection. Just marking up the best ones this time.

Hello Asbed

Another wonderful pan shot.
The OOF motion blurred BG is well done.
The mallard is well focused and well captured in flight.
Well done.

Rob

I can see that you are having fun with this panning technique. The motion blur is really interesting.
