Ok Guys,

They are all much better photos than mine, however, Scott, Timbo, Mike-P, Oggy, Daniel and George, I was kind of hoping you might be willing to have a go at a Swallow in mid flight! If ony to show how it should/could be done Maybe you are your not up for the challenge then

Daniel, I found your one on your portfolio and it is pretty impressive

They are fast little so and sos aren't they

In the meantime, if it stops raining, I will keep on trying to improve my one, maybe my new lens will help whe I get it next week

oh right if i see any i will but it wont be with my pentax,
also this is the fastest animal on the planet. dont know how fast a swallow is but a peregrine falcon has been clocked at 242mph, i recon this was not far off.

Another nice one Scott Fair enough point re the Peregrine Falcon, however, you do have a bigger target to try and focus on

I know why you are saying you won't be using your Pentax, however, I think you should have a go at least

point taken, i will have a see what i can come up with,

Cheers Scott

Tom,

I saw your bullett picture on your link I think it is really good. It really shows the speed. Its is just an opportunity to show what the K20D can do. I take it you where using AF or are you going to futher show me up and tell me it was MF

Great shots well done

Pentaxbabe all taken using AF

Not mine... NeilP's?

Dan

Apologises to both Dan and Tom! Despite writting all your names down, I still managed to get it wrong Theshots were Tom's. You will have to excuse me my memory just keeps on getting worse I swear I have early onset Dementia

For the first time that I can recall, I am going to comment on a Scott picture. In fact two; the latest two.

Not bad at all.

G

thanks george,
