Nature "You first!" "No, YOU first!"

"You first!" "No, YOU first!" · 04:41 PM

These were taken deep in a hollow, early in the morning before the sun had fully crested the hilltop. The shots were handheld, and ISO 1600 wasn't enough to allow me to use a faster shutter speed, so in the BIF pics the ducks are blurry. I suppose I could have gone up to ISO 6400, but I haven't figured out a good workflow for noise reduction using RawTherapee and/or GIMP. Still experimenting with that. Otherwise, I'm pleased with the pics. K-30 & 55-300 WR.

even though not in focus, I like the blur of the bird in the last.

Thanks Bob. It was about 20% skill and 80% luck.

The title says it all. What a funny spot to find those ducks. Good job considering the iso problem.
