Mallard life

A Mallard mom and her ducklings were doing the usual...well, whatever they do other than eat and swim.

These photos were all shot with the almighty Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3. IT's fast enough for daylight shooting like here, but as soon as it gets a bit darker it just really doesn't perform any longer. The same goes for sharpness of the picture. Under certain circumstances the edges of the photo experience a notable drop in quality after 500mm focal length.

These Mallard photos, however, are ok right out to the very edges. The amount of light was sufficient on that day and with only water surrounding the object I wouldn't say there are any technical issues in the photos. At least due to lens.
