Lake Erie, that is. I didn't notice the ducks till I got the shot on the computer, because it was taken at a focal length of about 1000mm hand held. I was surprised the picture wasn't a complete blur. This was also taken on March 30th, when there was still a lot of ice on the lake only a few hundred yards away.

Very clear and sharp shot Jimbob. That much zoom and hand-held - that means you have steady hands. The ducks were a nice added bonus.

Wow - I'm not sure Id be that steady hand-held at that distance - another lovely home on the lake - sure are some pretty properties there.

The ducks are trying to decoy us into thinking no one is a home, JimboB. Great long range shot and glad no ducks were injured.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You and your camera did good, Jim, and ice or no ice, what a lovely home and location to live.

I hope that SAM puts you on her Special Surveillance Team. This came out great considering the distance, Jimbob.

---1000mm hand held. I was surprised the picture wasn't a complete blur---

That amazes me too Jimbob. The only explanation therefore is that you are a stable person without shaking and/or trembling hands, lol.

Anyhow a very fine capture. I like it very much my friend!!!

Maybe you could send me the Keys to the Lakehouse when you're not using it. Looks like a Great Hidedout when the Cajun Mafia comes looking for me. AGAIN!

How much does the place out back rent for? A good capture of the scene, Jimbob.
