When photographing waterfowl in flight, you need to set your shutter speed at 1/500th or more to capture sharpness and detail. You can set your meter off the neutral tones of the duck’s gray feathers. Doug recommends shooting with a 500mm lens for closeups. He says he loves photographing waterfowl because there is always something new to shoot.
