This image is part of a series of duck photos I took visiting an enchanting german lake.Time
It was taken on May 22, 2018 at 8.42 AM.Lighting
That day the sun was very cooperative, so I could take advantage of fantastic natural lighting conditions.Equipment
I used a Canon EOS 7D with a 70-200mm f/4L lens, no flash, no tripod.Inspiration
I love ducks. I wanted to share the beauty of the male Wood duck, obviously a very special pearl of Mother Nature.Editing
All I did was a slight crop.In my camera bag
A Canon EOS 7D, a Casio EX-FH20, different lenses and a tripod.Feedback
If the subject of desire is an animal it is always good to know it's behaviour. The rest is patience, patience, patience.
