a Schneider 50/1.9, an OMD, & a Lucky Duck

[rbelyell]

i was enjoying sitting by our stream today with my dog, my OMD and my Schneider-retina 50/1.9, when i spied a duck swimming downstream towards us. how lucky was i?! first two shots just for a little perspective, first about 25% crop, second about 50% and last shot 100% crop:


#1

#2

#3

thanks melvis. like i said i was lucky. i see a fair amount of ducks and geese on my stream, and its good practice in the technique of 'following' the moving object. as you can see from the background, i was not succesful in #2, but was in #3. i had no time to adjust the shutter speed, which was only 1/250 in both shots.
