Well, I tried my hand at waterfowl photography last month. Here are a few shots at the local lake just
as the sun was hitting the water in the morning.

Nice shots! I don't have too many. I understand this one is pretty rare...

That is a cool shot! I love how the depth of field is decreased when using telephotos for tehse types of shots. Kind of frames the subject.

I had to take it out of Auto-focus because of all the surrounding brush. It was taken from the driver's side window of my car...

Cool shot of Morro Bay. I used to live there. On Zanzibar st. Have you been out to that lake around Oceano Dunes towards Guadalupe. I can't remember the name. There's a boardwalk that crosses the lake. Great place for bird/waterfowl shots.

That would be Oso Flaco Lake. I have been there, but not with my nifty 500mm lense. That will probably be my next waterfowl destination.
Took quite a few shots by moonlight of Morro Bay last night. We'll see how they turn out. Here is a moonlight TE from 3 weeks ago. Notice how the masts are blurred by the rocking of the boat over a 1 minute+ exposure.
