Feeding Swallow

Thanks for viewing!

Thats a pretty cool shot. Looks like moms eyes are going to pop out. 6/7

Thanks Monte, it's a lucky shot since I was shooting the chick and know the mother

is coming but had no idea that she is going to feed the chick. I shot without knowing

this is what's happening. Birdshot are 50% luck but this one is 95% luck :-) . I am

going back tomorrow, wish me luck!

 

From what I understand Swallow are unique in their in-flight feeding!

Incredible moment !!. Great job, Tm. Best regards.

Thanks Ricardo! It's a lucky shot for me because it was completely unintended and

unexpected. Someone told me he had tried to get an in-flight feeding shot like this

for two years and he did get one sharper than this one but the shot angle is a bit

more obscure. I did not see the significant of this till I heard the in-flight feeding

term. It's hard enough to get feeding swallow shot (they are very fast) but to get

in-flight feeding shot is definitely a task. Ever since I heard this photographer comment of in-flight feeding, I feel like I had hit the lottery :-)

Excellent capture Tim...luck or no luck! Thanks for your recent comments on my Hummingbirds. I don't do HDR but I do use PS to enhance my images. Some would say I use "too much" manipulation...I say it's the results that count when dealing with perception of images. What else truly matters? Regards, Ken

Thanks Ken! as long as one have fun shooting/creating then that's all that really

matter :-)
