Let me think ... there, that didn't take long. I just don't see it. But there again math was never my strong point.

Today's Jaunt

Re: Today in pictures
 

Is that a mandarin duck?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I believe it is .It was on it's own on the canal near Salterforth

Re: Today in pictures
 

That's a good find, according rspb, the only wild ones here are reserve escapees.

It is lovely Frank. I have only seen those in zoos.......and at a bird sanctuary in Queensland.
Some fantastic reflections in your shots today.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I took a photo of a similar duck swimming happily with "ordinary" ducks a few weeks ago Bourne Abbey in South Lncolnshire.
I'll try to find the file or see if I can see it again next week.

I just hope he or she has a mate.
It must be very lonely to be the only one of a kind.

Re: Today in pictures
 

According to RSPB, there are 2,300 breeding pairs in the UK..... I also now that the one pictured is male....females have dull brown plumage.
Amazing what Accyweb teaches you.

The duck, back of Bourne Abbey. I'll have another look on Tuesday to see if it is still around or has a mate.

Re: Today in pictures
 

No it ain't. I love it:alright:

Re: Today in pictures
 

I've just been playing around with a new lens it's a 300mm with macro facility.

I resized a photo of a flower, no idea what it is, about 6 inches across.
The file was 3.7 mb so I resized and finished up with the following background effect.

Unusual to say the least.

Same lens at 25 feet away from lantern dog.

Re: Today in pictures
 

They are showing as 4928X3280, you`ll probably get better results by lowering the resolution.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I was only messing Gpick.
I resized by 40%. I don't know if you have a full frame sensor camera or the usual crop frame but full frame files are bigger. I have a Pro Nikon Df full frame.
The original flower photo was really good with a nice clear background.
I had to dash of because I'd been booked to do the photos for a wedding.

The new lens only arrived an hour before I was due out but I didn't use it for the wedding.
