Excellent gallery Mike, especially the action shots you've done a great job of nailing, but the other shots are all very good too with good subjects, composition and lighting. John

Guest		09-Jul-2005 15:47
hey, ur gallery is extremely cool!! they're all cute and i like them all :) it would take me ages to be able to shot some nice pictures like urs anyway, i love this gallery!!

Shelley		20-Jun-2005 04:51
Your pictures are absolutely awesome! I've spent hours online looking at/for duck photos and have never found such an excellent duck photo site. My husband and I do taxidermy in the states and I was on the Taxidermy.net forum when someone passed along your link. EXCELLENT! EVERY SINGLE PICTURE! Thanks so much for sharing your time, talent and photos. I'm going to show my husband tomorrow. I hope you continue to take more duck/wildlife photos and post them. I'm just so overwhelmed right now, what an excellent job you've done!

Nick Vivian		17-Jun-2005 12:11

Hélène et Guy V.		01-Jun-2005 20:13
Lors d'une randonnée dans les marais du Nord, nous avons eu le plaisir de voir l'artiste se faire la main (ou la lentille) sur un geai bleu fort coopérant (et très intéressé par les cacahuètes).....ce qui nous a permis de découvrir ce foisonnement de canards dans tous leurs états. Bravo pour ce magnifique résultat. Il y a de superbes photos.

Guest		15-May-2005 14:58
I love this Gallery!

Fabienne		09-May-2005 21:02

Très très belle galerie. Comme le dit un de mes prédecésseur, il a du vous falloir beaucoup de patience. Mais cela en vaux le coup. C'est vraiment impressionnant.

Peggy Martin		29-Oct-2004 16:50
The pictures are beautiful! Do mallards ever cross breed? Or what bird would look like a mallard, only on the wings it's fushia?

Guest		21-Oct-2004 14:25
Spectacular gallery. I have been enjoying your ducks through your PAD for some time. These are really wonderful photos!

Partie		14-Oct-2004 12:21

OUTSTANDING work sir! will talk again soon.

OUTSTANDING work sir!

Mike Reshitnyk		08-Sep-2004 20:53
Hi Dan: I agree with you that the pics should be larger, and they used to be. I used to have them at 8" in height at one time a couple of years ago. Regretfully, I had to change this policy and reduce them to 4" in height. My wife is a nature artist and uses my pics as models. As you probably know, artists (and we photigraphers) can get pretty touchy with issues of copyright. We had a couple of incidents of "theft" of my images off my gallery by local artists - therefore we decided to reduce the size viewable to the general public :-( Cheers, Mike

Lance Davis		07-Sep-2004 07:09
Wow! These are some really terrific shots of mallards! The colors and textures of the drakes were so rich and detailed. You did such a wonderful job on Mallards that I would like to see some other species like teal, redheads, wood ducks, pintails, canvasbacks, etc. Other than that, these are bar-none the best close-up shots of in-flight ducks that I have ever seen. I'm not sure if the U.S. Federal Duck Stamp contest allows for photo entries alongside the artwork, but if they do it would be worth your time to send them some of your images. I believe the winner receives one million dollars. Just curious as to what aperture and shutter speed you use to freeze the fast beating wings of ducks. I know mallards have a slower wing beat than say teals do but (as a sports photographer) I would guess you were using a 4.0 ap and 1:1000 shutter with a 100-200 speed (on a bright, clear day). Anyway, your input would be appreciated. Once again, great work! Keep it up. Lance A. Davis Fayetteville, Arkansas U.S.A.

Debbie Stahre		03-Sep-2004 19:43
Nice duck shots!

Dan		28-Aug-2004 11:42
Very nice, I only wish your images were a little larger so we could enjoy them even more. Thanks for posting, keep up the good work.

Mike Reshitnyk		18-Jul-2004 16:29
And destroy the creative juices of another photographer?!!! No way! :-) Get out there and take your own pics - practice, practice, practice

Mattias Backström		18-Jul-2004 16:02
Wow... I don't think I need to tell you that these are fantastic. I'll put my camera back into the bag in the future when I'm about to photograph a duck or duckling. It's not worth even trying to get as cool photos as these. I'll just go back to this gallery instead and look. I don't need photos of my own...

Joanne Santillo		08-Jul-2004 22:54
I have a Olympus E20P and I'm still trying to get superb shots like this, it was a pleasure to see these great shots, I'm really envious... I am going to add you to my favourites and will pop back from time to time to see what's new. Thank you for sharing.

Faye White		23-Jun-2004 12:25
Beautiful photos!

ricecake		10-Jun-2004 13:00
Beautiful photos - so much better to shoot ducks with a camera and not a gun. Thanks for the gallery.

Jacques Tournel		08-Jun-2004 13:08
Magnifique travail sur les colverts en vol. Félicitations Jacques

C. Wrigkht		20-May-2004 21:10
Seeing this gallery makes me shutter. The photo quality is excellent, of course, and I congratulate you on that, but one can only handle so many Mallards. After 10 pages they all just look the same. Whoa. There are maybe 30 species of waterfowl readily photographable in this part of the world, why not mix it up a little? Cheers-

Mallard Matt		23-Apr-2004 19:21
Wow..... I can't believe some people are this obsessed with ducks. Seriously, get a girlfriend or something. PS: Cool Pics!!

Karen		09-Apr-2004 13:39
You have some beautiful photography of mallards. I was in search of an answer. I had 2 ducks land in the trees in my backyard yesterday. I'm pretty certain it was mallard ducks but I didn't think they would land in trees. I use to live on a lake that had many mallards. I never saw any in the trees before. Is this possible I wonder?

Guest		09-Mar-2004 14:26
WOW WOW just beautiful. Amazing assortment of wings and beaks. Some GREAT shots here. I enjoyed this very much and learned a few things to BOOT! :) Cherylm

Richard Allen		05-Mar-2004 16:05

Guest		23-Feb-2004 16:25
Je ne les ai pas comptés, mais il vous a fallu beaucoup de patience pour tirer autant de canards. Très belle galerie.Belles images Henri

Mike in Toronto		10-Feb-2004 00:09
Calling your gallery Fun with Ducks is an understatement, they are good enough to be published and perhaps even a calender that I would buy. Bravo!

faustka		24-Jan-2004 14:58

It was so nice to find such excellent gallery. You have some beatifull pictures here. I invite you to see only one of mine at www.plfoto.com/zdjecie.php?picture=89332 It seems we both like shooting ducks. Best regards Adam.

Mark		12-Dec-2003 13:24
I have been taking photos for almost 3 years now however would still consider my self a novice. Can you give me any advice on taking photos of birds in action? They always fly away, and also, if I want to get in really close, the camera shake at 300mm makes them blur. Kind regards, Mark

Guest		11-Dec-2003 11:44
Nous sommes des habitués du Domaine Maizeret ainsi que l'Aquarium et Jardins Zoologique de Québec. Une patience d'ange pour attraper ces oiseaux en vol. J'ai pris plaisir à visionner cet galerie.

Guest		09-Dec-2003 18:31
Lovely Photos. Pity I was not able to see the Exif data. I see lots of Ducks,Swans Gulls etc and would have loved to photograph them, but have no idea of settings and so have given up before I begin. Perhaps one day I will find the data I am looking for.

Terry Alexander		09-Dec-2003 01:27
Beautiful work Mike. Must be nice to have these models in your backyard, good work.

Guest		08-Dec-2003 06:44
I've always failed to get good images of ducks lifting off or landing -- figured it was difficult to do well. Now I see multiple pages of beautifully photographed ducks in various positions of flight and landing -- proving my theory that it IS difficult to do well, AND that a talented and tenacious photographer CAN succeed when willing to do the work.... I gotta go find a duck pond! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labors!

Guest		07-Dec-2003 09:12
Tout simplement splendide !

Phyllis Stewart		05-Dec-2003 15:50

Mike, great images of waterfowl. Wish I had seen that many ducks this winter, I guess they all stayed up there this winter. I'm the creative director for DU drop me a note sometime.

Greetings From Quebec City, Tom: Thanks for your message and kind words. It sure would be nice to hear from Ducks Unlimited - it never entered my mind to send them a sample of my pics. I always figured that they probably have tons of their own! :-) Cheers, Mike

I work for a printer in Memphis. I do work for Ducks Unlimited, whose National HQ is here. I've sent a photo or 2 to them. You have some amazing shots. I hope they contact you.

Greetings Sean: Thanks for your message. Its great to have my head inflated. I use an Olympus E-10 digital camera. The pics vary from the use of the camera's primary lens (35-140mm), at times the TCON 14B 1.4 X teleconverter, the TCON 300 3 X teleconverter ( which gives me 420mm), and rarely the combination of whole kit together (TCON 14B and TCON 300) which gives me a total of 610mm with a pretty fast F2.8! E-10 users call this the Super Combo. I don't use any filters, apart from a Haze 1 filer on my primary lens to protect it (which I remove when adding the teleconverters). But, I do apply basic post-processing in Photoshop; levels, contrast, reduction of a bit of red, sharpening - that sort of thing. I reduce the pics to about 8 inches in height and set resolution to 72ppi for monitor viewing and to save on server space. Cheers, Mike

Greetings Georgia: Thanks for your kind comments. I'm just fortunate that the subjects are available. Because of the extraordinary warm weather this winter, the ducks haven't left for the south. Mike

Not only are these technically great pictures, your subjects are delightful, as are your titles! Very enjoyable! Georgia
