Wings

By KingArthur
In flight shot captured earlier on this month while birding down by the shore.

I had just swapped lenses on my two cameras when this low Mallard sped towards me offering quite a challenging shot ..... and zap went the shutter! A slight crop and quite pleased with the end frame, a good freeze on those wings too.

Viewing large draws you in .....

Action Gear -
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: Nikkor 200-500mm at 500mm

Have a great day,
Joe Smile
