One morning, while taking my granddaughter to school, we passed this foggy section of pond with all these ducks bobbing about. I stopped but only had time for a couple of grab shots so as not to make her late.
Nikon D-200 w/Nikon 70-200mm VR Zoom @ 80mm - 1/30 sec. @ f/2.8 (hand held) - ISO 220
Cropping and minor adjustments made in PS Elements.

I love this image, and hand-held, geeesh, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks, Finch585, for the nice comments and taking the time to view my photo and reply. I got lucky with the hand-holding part at such a low shutter speed. If I had been a bit smarter, I would have raised the ISO to give me the ability to shoot at a faster shutter speed. Sometimes luck bails you out when you leave your smarts at home. Also, I'm sure the VR technology incorporated in the lens had more than a little to do with the success of this shot.

Geez, PA, I expected to see some naked people here, but still pretty good. ;)

Great photo and you sure have a steady hand. I remember when I could use a low shutter speed but not to much any more. Part of getting old at 80....Rich

Thanks, OddJobber, for viewing my photo and taking the time to comment. Yeah, I was hoping to find some naked swimmers, too, but this was all I could find. Maybe next time.
