p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Barn Swallows on a hazy day


After a few days of muggy and showery weather if dried up yesterday and I headed to the Oceanside Marine Nature Study area. The tree swallows have been traded for Barn Swallows as fall migration has started. The clouds cut about 1 stop from bright sunlight making conditions what you might call bright overcast. This created a nice soft light from above and perfect conditions to bring out the iridescence of the feathers with a touch of fill flash. I chose to take the better beamer off as it puts too much light on my subject at such short distances.

Beautiful barn swallow set, Morris. Love the background color compliment swallow's shiny blue wing and orange throat. Tons of feather details. Great work as usual.

Gorgeous shots Morris !

When you use your flash, how do you avoid that flashed look in the eyes?

Terrific stuff, Morris. All of them.
Those dead branches seem to be a perfect place to wait- which you've no doubt figured out long ago.

Terrific set Morris,

I really like the clean backgrounds that set off the subjects so well, great detail on the birds too.

Excellent shots.

Paul.
