Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
Place: Chandler, AZ, USA
Date: April 2003
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; 75% of frame
Commentary: I must admit that I am guilty of ignoring Mallards
for the most part, thinking of them as too commonplace to be of
interest. Plus, I've never been all that excited by the look of the
drakes. But while checking out a newly discovered birding location
close to home I encountered this Mallard in an attractive setting
that allowed me to show the bird in a small bit of appropriate
habitat.
