A male wood Duck floats around strutting his stuff for the females.

Handsome? Yes!

Colourful? Very.

So my friend Harry and I spent a few hours with these amazing ducks, and took quite a few images. The water was nice and calm. The reflections were colourful as the leaves are slowly turning to their fall colours.

Working with the A7r4 today, in uncompressed RAW, with this shot the crop sensor on. So the file size is still 62 MB+ here at 900 mm equivalent. Plenty of dots to work with for print or for web presentation.

A low ISO, a wide open lens, and a slow shutter speed still gave me a sharp image with very little noise.

For this type of shooting, I really appreciate this camera.

I appreciate your visit!
