Your pictures are absolutely awesome! I've spent hours online looking at/for duck photos and have never found such an excellent duck photo site. My husband and I do taxidermy in the states and I was on the Taxidermy.net forum when someone passed along your link. EXCELLENT! EVERY SINGLE PICTURE! Thanks so much for sharing your time, talent and photos. I'm going to show my husband tomorrow. I hope you continue to take more duck/wildlife photos and post them. I'm just so overwhelmed right now, what an excellent job you've done!

Lors d'une randonnée dans les marais du Nord, nous avons eu le plaisir de voir l'artiste se faire la main (ou la lentille) sur un geai bleu fort coopérant (et très intéressé par les cacahuètes).....ce qui nous a permis de découvrir ce foisonnement de canards dans tous leurs états. Bravo pour ce magnifique résultat. Il y a de superbes photos.

The pictures are beautiful! Do mallards ever cross breed? Or what bird would look like a mallard, only on the wings it's fushia?

OUTSTANDING work sir!

Mike Reshitnyk	PM reply	08-Sep-2004 20:53
Hi Dan: I agree with you that the pics should be larger, and they used to be. I used to have them at 8" in height at one time a couple of years ago. Regretfully, I had to change this policy and reduce them to 4" in height. My wife is a nature artist and uses my pics as models. As you probably know, artists (and we photigraphers) can get pretty touchy with issues of copyright. We had a couple of incidents of "theft" of my images off my gallery by local artists - therefore we decided to reduce the size viewable to the general public :-( Cheers, Mike

Lance Davis		07-Sep-2004 07:09
Wow! These are some really terrific shots of mallards! The colors and textures of the drakes were so rich and detailed. You did such a wonderful job on Mallards that I would like to see some other species like teal, redheads, wood ducks, pintails, canvasbacks, etc. Other than that, these are bar-none the best close-up shots of in-flight ducks that I have ever seen. I'm not sure if the U.S. Federal Duck Stamp contest allows for photo entries alongside the artwork, but if they do it would be worth your time to send them some of your images. I believe the winner receives one million dollars. Just curious as to what aperture and shutter speed you use to freeze the fast beating wings of ducks. I know mallards have a slower wing beat than say teals do but (as a sports photographer) I would guess you were using a 4.0 ap and 1:1000 shutter with a 100-200 speed (on a bright, clear day). Anyway, your input would be appreciated. Once again, great work! Keep it up. Lance A. Davis Fayetteville, Arkansas U.S.A.

Debbie Stahre	PM reply	03-Sep-2004 19:43

Dan	PM reply	28-Aug-2004 11:42

Mattias Backström	PM reply	18-Jul-2004 16:02
Wow... I don't think I need to tell you that these are fantastic. I'll put my camera back into the bag in the future when I'm about to photograph a duck or duckling. It's not worth even trying to get as cool photos as these. I'll just go back to this gallery instead and look. I don't need photos of my own...

Joanne Santillo	PM reply	08-Jul-2004 22:54
I have a Olympus E20P and I'm still trying to get superb shots like this, it was a pleasure to see these great shots, I'm really envious... I am going to add you to my favourites and will pop back from time to time to see what's new. Thank you for sharing.

C. Wrigkht		20-May-2004 21:10
Seeing this gallery makes me shutter. The photo quality is excellent, of course, and I congratulate you on that, but one can only handle so many Mallards. After 10 pages they all just look the same. Whoa. There are maybe 30 species of waterfowl readily photographable in this part of the world, why not mix it up a little? Cheers-

Mallard Matt		23-Apr-2004 19:21
Wow..... I can't believe some people are this obsessed with ducks. Seriously, get a girlfriend or something. PS: Cool Pics!!

Karen		09-Apr-2004 13:39
You have some beautiful photography of mallards. I was in search of an answer. I had 2 ducks land in the trees in my backyard yesterday. I'm pretty certain it was mallard ducks but I didn't think they would land in trees. I use to live on a lake that had many mallards. I never saw any in the trees before. Is this possible I wonder?

Mark		12-Dec-2003 13:24
I have been taking photos for almost 3 years now however would still consider my self a novice. Can you give me any advice on taking photos of birds in action? They always fly away, and also, if I want to get in really close, the camera shake at 300mm makes them blur. Kind regards, Mark

Lovely Photos. Pity I was not able to see the Exif data. I see lots of Ducks,Swans Gulls etc and would have loved to photograph them, but have no idea of settings and so have given up before I begin. Perhaps one day I will find the data I am looking for.

Beautiful work Mike. Must be nice to have these models in your backyard, good work.

shadepuppy	PM reply	08-Dec-2003 06:44
I've always failed to get good images of ducks lifting off or landing -- figured it was difficult to do well. Now I see multiple pages of beautifully photographed ducks in various positions of flight and landing -- proving my theory that it IS difficult to do well, AND that a talented and tenacious photographer CAN succeed when willing to do the work.... I gotta go find a duck pond! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labors!

Great pictures.I especially like the Manderin Duck. The snow geese remind me of our flocks in Ladner B.C.

Wonderful, wonderful. Could you direct some of your ducks and geese to San Diego?

Mike, great images of waterfowl. Wish I had seen that many ducks this winter, I guess they all stayed up there this winter. I'm the creative director for DU drop me a note sometime.

Greetings From Quebec City, Tom: Thanks for your message and kind words. It sure would be nice to hear from Ducks Unlimited - it never entered my mind to send them a sample of my pics. I always figured that they probably have tons of their own! :-) Cheers, Mike

I work for a printer in Memphis. I do work for Ducks Unlimited, whose National HQ is here. I've sent a photo or 2 to them. You have some amazing shots. I hope they contact you.

Greetings Sean: Thanks for your message. Its great to have my head inflated. I use an Olympus E-10 digital camera. The pics vary from the use of the camera's primary lens (35-140mm), at times the TCON 14B 1.4 X teleconverter, the TCON 300 3 X teleconverter ( which gives me 420mm), and rarely the combination of whole kit together (TCON 14B and TCON 300) which gives me a total of 610mm with a pretty fast F2.8! E-10 users call this the Super Combo. I don't use any filters, apart from a Haze 1 filer on my primary lens to protect it (which I remove when adding the teleconverters). But, I do apply basic post-processing in Photoshop; levels, contrast, reduction of a bit of red, sharpening - that sort of thing. I reduce the pics to about 8 inches in height and set resolution to 72ppi for monitor viewing and to save on server space. Cheers, Mike

Greetings Georgia: Thanks for your kind comments. I'm just fortunate that the subjects are available. Because of the extraordinary warm weather this winter, the ducks haven't left for the south. Mike

Not only are these technically great pictures, your subjects are delightful, as are your titles! Very enjoyable! Georgia
