Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |

Subject: Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: October 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
SB28, tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, fill flash @ -1.7
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 100% of frame
Commentary: I'm not much of a fan of Mallards - they are very
commonplace, and the males are a bit too gaudy for my tastes. But
lots of people find them attractive, so I took this image when a male
conveniently posed on a rock in front of me.
