Here are some pics of my Ducks that are in my shave rotation right now. The one on the top is a Wonderedge, The rest are No 1's, Goldedge, and some Dwarfs...Also, a coti combo on the left, and two barber hones on the right....

What the FLOCK? Sorry, had to do it.
Lovely group of ducks.
Very nice! If ever you feel the need to liquidate...
Nice little pond you've got going there. Puts my one little quacker to shame.

Now we know where all the ducks have gone! :D
That's a nice set.
Those are quite a few ducks.
Regarding the photos, my two guesses are that the shot is out of focus or you are moving the camera too much while the shutter is open. If it's an autofocus only camera, try to shoot straight down at the razors on the table (bird's eye type view). If it's auto-exposure, try additional light. You could also shoot the camera rifle style; breathe in, let half a breath out, take the shot, then finish the breath. A tripod would also work, as would resting the camera on or against a stable object.
Excellent one .thank you for sharing.
O()ne of those looks familiar!?:thinking:
Funny, I was going to say the same thing.Quote:

Which one is the ferocious duck that attacked you?
Looks like you have eliminated camera shake from the equation. Now the focus is just a bit soft in the foreground due to a short depth of field. My guess is you've got a point and shoot? Assuming you do, and you cannot control the aperture of the lens, the best way to keep everything in focus is to keep the subjects you want in focus equidistant from the lens. Unfortunately, such angles are typically boring.Quote:

It's the No 1, second from the top.Quote:

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 :D

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.Quote:

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
