Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris)
Place: Tempe, AZ, USA
Date: November 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of frame (cropped left edge)
Commentary: I've always found female Ring-necked Ducks to have
a subtle beauty that is often overlooked. Many winter in AZ, and are
sometimes easy to approach and photograph at small community parks
once they have become used to park visitors. This is the same
location where this Lesser Scaup was
photographed.
