Description this is about as good as the focus gets when you are manually focusing on a swallow flying right at you while its mate is dive bombing you from behind.

lynsea In reply to vombatusv8 [2009-06-17 12:42:32 +0000 UTC]

both are generally good ideas but as i am graduating in two days and have already taken my finals the second one isn't too necessary.

ajcallaway [2009-05-27 08:15:50 +0000 UTC]

cracking shot, well set in the frame too

how many did it take to get that one? Were you quite close to the nest?

lynsea In reply to ajcallaway [2009-05-27 10:48:35 +0000 UTC]

i must have taken around 40 before i got a few that came out in focus. honestly im a little surprised i managed to get a shot within that amount of frames. i was right next to the nest, that is why they kept bombing me!

thanks very much. i loved the corner effect the wings had! normally it's really hard to crop pictures that have no background.

lovevlcj [2009-05-25 19:34:45 +0000 UTC]

I really like this one!
Its posture is awesome, and you must have a put a ton of effort into this since they're like aces at flying.

lynsea In reply to lovevlcj [2009-05-25 21:30:34 +0000 UTC]

lets just say yes to the effort but involving lots of luck as well. im terrible at manual focus and a bird that is dive bombing you is not the best way to start out
