Hugh,

Very nice exposures, love the fog over the water. I'd personally prefer to have just the wild ducks myself.

Nicely done. lets see some more footage.

i use a Sony HVR V1, that day I shot 1080i and captured with cineform neo hdv and deinterlaced, then into Vegas 8 and rendered 24p into a mpeg4 where I used my utube settimgs. 500x375 768 kbs 1 pass or mybe 2 pass. camera settings were fairly saturated, no post at all, just cut length of clip, I did try one new thing, since these birds are always on the move and I can't really hand hold this camera that steady I took a short bungee cord hooked to my belt and hooked to my camera, when I am shooting it puts just enough pressure on it to hold the camera steadier, if anyone wants the picture profile settings I will post them
