Duck?

What's with the duck thing? I saw something about posing a duck on another thread?

It's a POTN tradition to post a photo of a duck when you buy a new camera or lens.

Thanks!

I think that's with many camera forums. I guess cause they are cute and easy to shoot?

I only took my first duck shot yesterday - despite having my camera since Sept!

I didn't know about this tradition either until recently, so can only apologise for my lack of quacky feathered pond life up until now.....

i didnt even know about it...i just went down by this canal one day and there were ducks there so i shot them lol

It's probably a small part of the reason for this tradition, but I just love the whole concept of 'shooting ducks' - a bit like the old fair grounds, or English gentry on a game reserve.....just with f/stops instead of bullets....

Quack.

Somewhere there's a thread on your question. Then there's this:

Lol this is such a random thing, i swear when i get timed out on the forums there is something that pops up about ducks too! lol

OK - easy perhaps but not always cute

Quack.

They are fun to photograph too.

I love em, notice my avatar...

This picture is giving me the creeps! Something to do with the geneticly engineerered duck stock on astroturf eating some kind of manufactured duck chow.

someone told me that is the ugliest duck they have ever seen...product of their environment maybe?

This is the only duck I ever shoot with a new camera or lens...
