I see that everybody has posted their obligatory duck shots... Well, I have shot about 12K pics since getting my 350D and not one duck... Am I still going to be cursed with years of bad luck for no duck shots?

I should maybe get on that eh. Anyone know how it got started? like why it was ducks? tim When this whole duck shooting thing started a couple of years ago, it was to test a new lens, usually a long lens such as the 100-400L. I guess it eventually worked its way to new cameras over the years. Not sure when that happened though ...Leo
