I was wondering how to capture the humour of the scene as cleanly as possible &#8212; there were just too many distracting subjects (kids running around, trees, pavements) in the background. Adopting a low angle may have helped a little (as Dad was pointing out to the group of students with us). I took another solution: I incorporated the path in the distance with an isolated group of passers-by to tell a funny story instead. The ducks were made the main focus of the story by keeping them sharp relative to the rest of the picture. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/photos\/thumb_20060402_0040_2.jpg\" width=\"130\" height=\"89\" alt=\"More Ducks This Way\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-decisive-moments","category-expression","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/przUn-4a","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
