Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: American Wigeon (Anas americana)
Place: Scottsdale, AZ, USA
Date: February 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6)
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered, natural light
Scan: Minolta Dimage; 100% of frame

Commentary: I don't shoot many ducks, and when I do I'm usually too far away for a decent image. This one was taken at a local park where the birds get used to people, and where a paved path allows for a low shooting position.
