17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Slow shutter image of a common merganser (female) taking off for a flight
Common mergansers are migratory to eastern part of India. For last few years, mergansers have been visiting Gajoldoba wetland in India during winter. Important to note, in this wetland, one has to capture images sitting in a smaller hand-ridden boat, mostly in moving conditions. With panning in slow shutter (1/40 sec), this effect was achieved.
