Mark Fadely gave ne a bit of inspiration to try my hand at swallows again today. Didn\'t do too bad given that I fired only about 20 shots, but more work is required on choreography so to speak, for better results. Need to get a healthier vantage point so that I wouldn\'t have to shoot into the lake surface reflection and also get some direct light on the birds. Next time I\'ll probably go for a shorter but faster lens, either 200 f/2 or 135L.
