You know the drill, still testing the Bigma. As you may be able to tell I’m pretty happy. Had to work today but lunch was conveniently planned at the Humber Park.

Mallard splashing himself. All the images were shot in continuous focus mode.

The sun was out when I left my last call but as soon as I set up it was gone as usual. There are a few nice days lined up so sunshine is on the way.

Nice series. Love how you're able to capture the subtle shadings of colour on both the mallard drake and the bufflehead.

Nice set, I had not heard of a bufflehead either, and I use to live in Toronto:o

Don't feel to bad you easteners, where I am living it's 6mths of overcast with the sun popping out here and there, ah well the summer and fall more than make up for it;)
