And it does appear he has his eye on that gnat too

Having shot these guys often and often with less of result I had hoped for I think your Beamer may be causing a bit of the contrast problem. Probably reading alot of reflected light off the white breast and cutting the exposure short. I do like the enhancements Dave brought out so I guess just a bit more pulled from PP work loosens them up. They are hard to resist that is for sure!

Karl

Thank you Karl,

I think I was too close to be using the Beamer.

Tough call for me Morris, I would like to see more light on the darks if you know what I mean.

2 is better than 1 in that regard for me. I think 1 the flash my be too hot and in 2 you have it backed off better. I'm not one to talk, I'm still trying to figure flash out

Hi Morris,
I was expecting to see a pic of just a gnat in flight and I was wondering what they looked like close up.
Very nice swallows you got here and I love the look in the eye of the swallow as it homes in on the gnat.
Martin

Thank you Martin,

I'll have to get an 800, stack two tx and used a lot of extention for that. Will any light reach the sensor?

Thank you Tim,

I should have removed the Beamer. I was probably too close for it.

Great gnat, Morris. I love how you made sure the Tree Swallow was strategically placed in the image to help give some perspective for the main subject (the gnat, of course).

Oh, and it's a beautiful Swallow too. Nicely done, Morris.

Morris,

Nit, nak, and Gnat. Great capture! The bird seems to be "eyeballing" it.
