Long-necked duck dive sequence

[BrentC]

I have always wanted to capture a dive of one of the diving ducks. Their dive is faster than the eye can see. Here is a sequence (23 frames) I captured that show there full dive. I was hoping to get a side shot of one but this wasn't bad. I will warn you its a large file. I even decreased file size but its still 170MB. Wouldn't upload to Flickr so here is a link for it.

Wow! That's very cool.

Thank Brian! Next time I hope to get that side shot so we can see the full arc.

That's cool. Hard to believe it's 23 frames. Wanted to do something similar with the loons at the lake. Man, they are QUICK. And....you don't know when they're going to do it. One second they're there.....the next.....Way cool!

It'll be several months before anything is diving around here. Lol.
