Water Drop Photography

Even when the sun is shining and I am out and about, I still see water drops.

Here I have taught a Wigeon to drool. All was going rather well until I tried to get him inside a bubble, but he was having none of it.

Nice shot Colin, lovely colours and feather detail.

You want to watch this water drop business, you will be dreaming about it soon and walking into City Centre Fountains!!!

One in the pan and two in front.

I was quite fascinated with this little fella. Every time he dipped his beak, water ran off it and dripped back into the lake. I got loads of shots of drips in various states. Other TOGs in the hide thought I was quite mad taking numerous shots of a Wigeon, but I couldn't be assed (CBA) to explain why to them.

I didn't realise the Wigeon was so pretty - lovely picture.

Gorgeous detail, Colin - the 500mm, I assume? I've added it to my wish list!
Can you see that he's licking the spoon...?!
Glad to see that you finally got out again - Mrs C must be breathing a sigh of relief!

Mrs C must be breathing a sigh of relief!

Mixed feelings it would appear:

Out from under her feet - a good thing.

Out enjoying myself - a bad thing!

Re: Water Drop Photography

Very nice Colin, I hate to think what the collision shot would be like.

Re: Water Drop Photography

Probably a collision Duck shot!
