Watching some Ducks at the Pond

Ducks are birds that are usually easy to take pictures of since there are a lot of them and also many of the ducks are used to humans and often fed by them so they like to come close in expectation of some food. I don't like when I see someone feeding the ducks since bread is not really good for them, they should live on plants and small invertibrates or worms and snails. Unfortunately I often see people feeding them with bread and other leftovers. I usually don't take so many pictures of ducks since they are pretty common birds and easy to find. But still on a calm day when the light situation is as good as on this day and no other more interesting bird is available I also like to take some easy pictures of ducks.

And on this day I really had luck with the light and the pictures turned out really great. The afternoon light was so amazing since the sun was already starting to set. A light situation like this is perfect for taking some pictures, no shadows from the harsh sunlight but still enough light to get a really nice clean picture.
