Steve Ting Nature Photography

Spent this week at Virginia Lake shooting some ducks. When the majority of the lake is iced over this makes for good photo ops on the duck species that visits the lake. They are forced to smaller locations and tend to be closer to shore. One of the challenging aspects of photographing ducks in water like this is to isolate a single duck from the rest of the group. This is best done by setting up in one spot and then watching for one duck to become separated from the rest. Patience being the big key!
