Re: Cliff Swallow in Flight

Re: Cliff Swallow in Flight
Hi Chuck,
Amazing capture... I'm in awe of the positions you're capturing these birds in flight in. And I see that this one was captured at a focal length of just 200mm. I have yet to capture a Cliff Swallow in flight, so thank you for the inspiration.

Re: Cliff Swallow in Flight
That is wonderful.
I wrote earlier today in a thread started by Christina (Brownbear) about how my own miserable failures leaves me in awe of those who nail shots like this. Just a joy to look at.

That's a beauty Chuck. There may be comments that could be made but it's uniqueness overrides all. Great capture!
