These birds are actually quite small and very quick.

is that a swift or a swallow? Pretty impressive to get a sharp shot of such a speedy bird. Actually supremely impressive! (I've yet to get that kind of detail when they're sitting still.)

Thx for the comment. I actually dont know what type of bird it is - could be a swift?

I see you have used a shutter speed over 1/1000th, at f/3.5 and ISO 320. Was there actually enough light to be able to use these settings and produce a correct exposure?

Brilliant shot.

It was really good evening light. Thx for commenting.

Great shot - I guess use used the 70-200 2.8 vr? I have to get one.

 

[PushingTin]

Thx for the comments, yes this was the 70-200 VR. A truly amazing lens!!!

i saw you used a very fast shutterspeed, with good reason. Crazy fast, those birds. Plus the fact they never fly in a straight line. So this pic is just amazing. Good stuff indeed :thumbup:
