Thread: Flock of Ducks

A group of Ducks is referred to as a "Paddling" and that is a nice paddling of quackers..... or group, or gaggle, or flock, or whatever

Well, if you want to spend the cash, you can buy a shutter camera from Canon or the like. Works almost exactly like old shutters, except that you don't need to change films, and all the controls are electronic.
Less money, easier to use: a decent point'n'shoot cam with a good lens. I've made brilliant macro pictures with my mothers Canon Ixus *something*, and that one is about three years old IIRC. All you need is a steady hand and good light.

Very nice ducks, I’m jealous – Not one duck yet for myself!!

Or try a beanbag... it doesnt come any easier... Dried beens, pees, corn of whatever you have... put 'm in a bag... and there you go..

Put the camera on top of it.. put your camera on the timer and take your pictures.. dont know if you have any control over the aperture but you could make it smaller (higher number) for sharper images (it increases the depth of field. it will increas the exposure time but that shouldnt be a problem with the beanbag.

Good luck.

You can also screw the camera to the top of a lamp with the shade removed. A lot of lamps have the right sized bolt.

You could also try a string tripod:

Hey Rich,

Nice Duck collection! I have a Satinedge and it is a great shaver. I see you have the mythical Wonderedge..... is it as good as they say? And where did you get it?????

PS - I'm also a 35mm guy (I have a old Pentax I inherited from my Dad) and I'm sad to see them go. I don't own a digital yet, although there are a couple in the house. Retro: That's probably why I shave with a straight... everything old is new again!

Regards,

Ryan
