Barnegat Light Ducks

[Lunatic]

Took a ride today to Barnegat Light to check on duck migration. Most Harlequins, Scoters  are gone but Lomg Tails are still there in great numbers>
(I arrived mid day with bright sun overhead so most of the pics with white ducks on dark background are overexposed)

Very nice pics 

What camera do you use? I’ve been toying with the idea of finally dropping the money to buy a nice one.

These shots are incredible.. If these are taken on the manual setting, what shutter speed do you use?

They were shot in Aperture Priority mode, I use it 99% of the time, so the speed was variable from 500 to 3,000. The ISO was at 100 because this was in the middle of the day, the worse time for photos when there is no cloud cover

Thank you

They are beautiful pictures. I find the Jersey shore most pleasant late winter/early spring.
