Default Christmas Duck

I ventured out Saturday night to Christmas town USA (McAdenville, N.C.) about 30 miles from my home with hopes of capturing a few decent photos. Once I made it back home I did my usual upload to see (access the damage) or in this case discovered what shots I had. To my surprise never would I have imagined the level of detail I captured.


Cannon Rebel XS
50 -250 mm
Aperture f4.0
Shutter speed 1/8 sec
