The Swallows
p.1 #1The Swallows
Had some fun and LOTS of challenges and frustrating getting the swallows. They were flying low over the yellow flowers which made for a nice background .
Thank you for looking and hope you enjoy.
Birdie
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Great images. I love shooting these guys but where I shoot they're almost always too far away.

Great work Roberta. The flowers make for a wonderful background. There must be lots of insects visiting those flowers for the swallows to be there.

Very nice Roberta, those little guys are hard to track. I'm guessing that 300F2.8 sure helps though.

The 300 definitely helped. I had to take the 2x tc off as my field of view was too narrow to keep track of them. I did use the 1.4 tc and that helped.
