March 2021: A neat sequence

Recently, I was out on Lake Michigan, in Port Washington. I was literally out on the lake, thanks to the development of shoreline-ice. I was photographing what I could see of Milwaukee, 25 miles to the south…I had the Nikon D7200 and Tamron 150–600mm G2 lens, and was thrilled that I could see some of the skyscrapers and large antennas of Milwaukee’s East Side/Downtown.

I was looking towards Milwaukee when I noticed movement on the horizon — it was a flock of ducks, flying right in my direction! It was the neatest thing, and I kept my eye to the viewfinder, kept adjusting the focus and hoping my photos would be sharp — it was such a unique moment for me! What was resulted was, I hope for you, too, a very thrilling sequence of images!

The focus was accurate, the exposure was good, and the birds were magnificent!
