Title: Mandarin Duck
Post by Bob Thompson on May 21^st, 2006, 6:12pm

Taken at Kowloon Park 21st May 2006

Shutter speed 1/8 second and ISO 100 (taken in the rain)

Equipment Nikon 8400 and Swavoski 80HD scope with 20-60 zoom eyepiece.

Actually I just clicked the camera, I must thank my "teacher" Neil Fifer, who had to put up with me asking a lot of questions and KK Hui for his brilliant Photoshop work

Thanks guys

Excellent color of the bird and background. Good details and technique too. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

PS does make a difference. Now it looks perfect, and means that age and eyes do not matter that much. ;D
