I like your shots .... the coots & moor hens scampering on the surface of the water is easy enough to see, BUT not so easy to be ready with the camera and to get such a good shot with those reflections thrown in too.
thanks WD. I have to admit that on weekend mornings, if the sun is out, I stand at the edge of the pond and wait for something to happen. It usually does, but I can't predict what. My zoom is out to 400mm, my shutter speed is 1/2500, and the autofocus is pretty fast. I get lucky sometimes.
Very nice images you have got there. I particularly like the top one, the Common Coot looks as if he is walking on water.
That Coot photo is absolute classic
Besides the walking effect , the fact you have also captured a great reflection and the splashes as well
Brilliant
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
Thanks! (I don't seem to be getting notification of these comments)
thank you! I'm pretty happy with the way the shot turned out.
