Good evening Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all tonight is this cool little scenery that I saw and captured of these two ducks. One is of course the Mallard and the other is a Hybrid, one photographer called it a name and I cannot remember what he said and another lady out there was arguing with him saying it is a Swedish Blue duck, so I'm going to roll with it although I think its a hybrid and definitely has Mallard of some sort in it. The reason why is it is always with a Mallard but not to long ago I didn't see it with any ducks, looked lonely, so I am glad it found a friend. It's kind of sad sometimes when I see some loners out there but hopefully they do find a friend to hang out with. Anyways I just thought this was a cool moment and I wanted to share these shot's with all you wonderful people out there. I thought to mention, I figured out a bit more editing tips but it was today and these shot's were already done but man does the masking work to get the noise out of my shot's. I guess you can say I had the time to figure it out this morning while I was drinking my coffee. Let's just hope I got it right though, because they always look real good on my tablet but then when I get to my PC, some of them look noisy still. All good on I go, keep learning and improving is the motto.
The first shot above is my favorite, love the rock scene and they bother are faced in the same direction mimicking each other. Due to the color of the Hybrid I have shot many shots of him or her and its so hard to get a clean feather shot due to its color I suppose. I keep trying though whenever I get a chance of doing so. The second shot below, is pretty cool too and this is actually how they looked when I rolled up on them. Glad they stayed there for a minute to let me get some shot's in because eventually they had trust issues and moved off the rock.
For the third shot here I tried to do a vertical shot to get the reflection of the rock and the Mallard but the water had a slight movement to it, so I couldn't get a real good reflection with the Mallard in the water. Still a pretty cool shot and I am happy with them, so I hope you all like them. Appreciate you all stopping by my blog and post again, have a blessed one.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
