Sweet scene Ed. I expect ducklings in a couple of weeks.

M_Six · 05-06-2014, 04:16 PM

Wow, they can swim at 2 days old?

And that's a big brood, isn't it?

Nice Flikr set of Travis.

Yeah, 7 little fuzzy ones

Mallard ducklings in the wild can pretty much swim right after hatching. If they are domesticated eggs though, it takes a few weeks for them to develop the water resistant oils their natural born relatives are born with.

Just wow. I'm going to have to start stalking you on flickr. these are just so awesome. I avoid cameras with all cost, and have taken only one picture in the last 5 months. As soon as I find my passwd, the stalking begins. Thanks!

ddk632 · 05-07-2014, 05:16 PM

Sick shot, Ed.

Weebl · 05-07-2014, 05:47 PM

Excellent.
I need to find another show to go to, SF nets me a bunch of slightly blurry pics.

Itsed65 · 05-07-2014, 08:24 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Lups stalk away, but be prepared for lots of train pics, as I never quite got over my boyhood fascination with them.

By far the best one around here is the California Capital Airshow up in Sac every September. It costs like 15 bucks to get in, but it is a first class show.

Last one from the airshow for a while

I might have to do the Capitol a.s. this year. The F22 will be there and I've never seen a Harrier.

Itsed65 · 05-08-2014, 08:35 PM

This guy was calmly munching on some grass as I drove up my street the other day. With the lack of water I am expecting to see a lot more wildlife in the neighborhood this summer.

Schmidt's Sausage Haus in Columbus, OH. Shot during a tour of German Village. Not the best day with on/off rain, but the sky was pretty dramatic. First real shoot using my new Tokina 16-28 f2.8. Nice lens.

M_Six · 05-08-2014, 09:23 PM

One more. The original Max and Erma's restaurant. Living in IL where most power lines are buried, I forget what a hassle it is trying to shoot where the lines are above ground.

Itsed65 · 05-08-2014, 10:08 PM

Nice ones Mark! I actually ate at Schmidt's many years ago when I was in Columbus for a wedding. I recall it being pretty good, but then again, I've always been a sucker for German food.

M_Six · 05-08-2014, 10:14 PM

Yeah, Schmidt's isn't bad. There was a better German place a ways south of Chicago that we stopped at once and I was amazed at how close to real living-in-Germany-good it was. But then, of course, they closed down. :-(

My all time favorite German meal is Wiener Schnitzel and pommes frites with lemon to squeeze on the schnitzel. Add in a good beer and I'm in heaven.

bosstones · 05-09-2014, 04:05 PM

Colors might be a little off. Got a new monitor and haven't calibrated it yet.
