Hard to Shoot

by 1stEverPentax

100% crop of a Swallow from a nearby field a few weeks ago. This although not fantastic was one of my better shots from a selection of about 25-30.

Single shot, manual focus with Samyang 135mm f2. My son was a few yards away trying out his newly acquired Oympus EMD with 40-150 f2.8 + 1.4TC in AF machine gun mode...his best ones were better but not by as much as you might have expected ...and he had hundreds of shots to choose from.

Excellent, I've tried to get a a shot of a Swallow but they are too fast for me. Brilliant shot.

Thanks David, certainly seems like some kind of 'result' when you manage to capture something even vaguely recognisable as a Swallow!
