Mohawk Mallards

previous / next

It was a very overcast November afternoon but it was warm and pleasant out despite the gray skies. I haven't been to my little Mohawk Park in quite a while so I decided to take a walk and enjoy the warm afternoon. The water was beautiful and the colorful reflections were lovely to see. I came upon these 4 Mallards, a common sight there, and they were so cute that I had to take some photos of them. This is one of my favorites from the day.

Technical Details:
NIKON D700
Nikkor 85mm f1.8
1/1250 second
F/1.8
ISO 220
85 mm

This photo of the Bucknell Football field is a 2 page feature photo in the Fall 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

Sharp photo with great dof. To bad the last duck is not very sharp, but your photo is a joy to look at.
