Culzean - Two Mallards

It was a beautiful day at Culzean Castle & Country Park. I had been trying to photograph an uncooperative family of swans and cygnets, so my Nikon D300s was set to a slower shutter speed than I would have liked when these mallards zoomed past me. I used a panning technique, moving my camera and 300mm lens at the same speed as the birds to try and keep them sharp. This method has the bonus of separating the ducks from the background by blurring it.
