Well, I got the 40D yesterday, so I went out over to the local lakes today to run it through its' paces a bit.

So, with no further adieu, the obligatory duck shot:

Cropped a bit off the original, but I like the way it came out.

Shot with the 40D and the Bigma...

Not really sure how it got started.... but basically, every time someone gets a new toy, they shoot a duck... I think it was originally just when you got new L glass, but it has since expanded...

Oh no! You resorted to duck shots. I am so let down :cool:

At least you have the duck shot done so you don't have to ever do that again, and can move on to other subjects.

I think this tradition was started by some Canadian members, a while ago now.

Incentive to buy the POTN Book Vol 2 here ... ;)

We hope to include a history of the POTN Duck Shot in the book :)
