Ducks @ Moanalua Garden - 08/24 - 08/25/2013

It's been a while since I've been to Moanalua Garden and now there's a lot of ducks that have taken residence in the pond. The Garden is a family friendly place and I see a lot of them bring their kids to feed the ducks. The ducks roam the garden freely so it is a great place for them to raise their young.  The first day, I only found adult or 'teenage' sized ducks. On the second day, we were finally able to spot the ducklings with mom.  I bought my 100mm so it was a bit short for the long shot but I was able to rely on my Lumix to get the duck family from a distance.

I lucked out and caught one flapping his/her wing.

I got really close to one who wasn't really afraid of me, then he flew off.

I had to boost all the colors in the shot to get the colors of his feathers.

I tried to get flying ducks..but I only managed to sorta get egrets in flight...

ahhh... blurry...need more practice... on day soon, I'll return for more practice..
