That Mallard shot is just perfect. So beautiful.

 

[DarkShadow]

Thanks.

Very well done. I'll never know how you get a tree swallow in flight!

 

[DarkShadow]

Thanks.The tree swallows are really difficult I keep trying and trying until I got a least one In focus.

Nice set, Tree Swallow rocks. That had to be a really difficult shot. Ed

 

[DarkShadow]

keeping them Im the viewfinder long enough to focus on.They fly like bats so they are to me the most challenging bird to capture In flight and being a tiny bird is no help.

I know right,the duck looks like it was laughing or something.

Thanks.I don't know what it was saying but it does look kinda funny.There was one mallard In front I missed, maybe it was saying wait for me.

I just tried to shoot some Swallows in flight. I must have looked like a lunatic! Out there waving that lens around like a madman! Lol.

Much respect for your skills

Coastal kills the swallows no not literally though and all while he sleeps I think. Don't worry keep trying I know you will get one.The flight pattern is what kills me.The 360 turns,the dips and skimming from the top of water. My lens goes left to right up and down and does circles after that I feel sea sick and have to sit down.LOL
