Thanks for your support. I've fixed it to say a 50-150mm lens at 80mm. To me, it isn't really important whether the lens was a zoom or prime as far as the picture is concerned. A zoom becomes whatever lens you want it to be. I get frustrated when I see books and magazines say a pic was taken with a "24-70mm" lens without saying what focal length was when they actually took the picture.

The ducks were better arranged in this image, but overall the lighting is better in this version. --ELEKHHT 00:56, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I could photoshop Diliff's ducks into mine. He he. It would have been great to get a pelican in the shot - there was one in the west side of the lake. -- Colin°Talk 08:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
