Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck, GOOSE!

Duck shots are really candid in my opinion. Usually make Great shots.

Ok thanks for letting me know its just tradition.

Here are my duck shots, feel free to comment http://christophermart​in.smugmug.com/gallery​/2150298#111486066

I've never posted a pic of duck. Then again, I've never posted a "Yippeee!!! I just a got a new lens!" thread to warrant demand for a duck shot either.

I've always wondered how this tradition started.

Oh come on, I cant believe you have never bragged about a lens here. That doesnt seem like you at all (note the sarcasim, owner of the Trinity )

While I won't deny that I've praised my lenses in threads other people have started, I can say, however, I never started a thread with a title like:

"Look what Brown just brought me!"
"Ordered my first L!"
"I just pulled the trigger!"
"I had to take out a second mortage and my wife is going to kill me, but I got an L!"
"I chased down the UPS truck, almost killed some pedestrians, but I got my nifty fifty!"

I do recall a thread I started about me getting a Leica APO 100mm f2,8 Macro and being fairly estatic about the optical performance. But the title wasn't "Yippee!!!! My first Leica!"

How is that Leica doing? Is it the ultimate L?
