Great shots, all of them! I'm really curious how you took that last shot.

Thanks! In the last photo I was using a my nikon d7100 with a nikkor 10-24mm at f/3.5 and a 30sec exposure. the ISO was at 1000.

Just an idea you may try next time, read a bit about light painting. I feel if you'd used an LED torch to illuminate the car properly during the exposure, this already cool shot would have looked even cooler. Great work

I actually used my phone as a torch haha. I've heard of doing that and would like to try it. When I originally went out I wasn't planning on taking pictures of my car. Maybe next time!

Those wood ducks I find remarkable Nate, fine shots on all. Not one of those subjects do we have so always a huge bonus seeing posts like this. Love the Shoveler (we do have a different version of those), very nice to see thanks.

All the best Nate, very nice.

Danny.

One day i hope to be able to make a trip out to New Zealand and see all of your remarkable creatures! I live in the land of the lakes so the duck diversity is large during migration season haha! Thanks for all the kind words Danny.
