Barn Swallow

Upper Texas Coast

D3, 300, ISO 640, f4.5, 1/4000.

No Hawks showed up yesterday, so I played with the Swallows.

Having tried on many occasions to get in-flight shots of swallows, I really appreciate how difficult this shot probably was to get. Great pose and wicked sharp focus (and better depth of field than I would have expected for f4.5). Well done.

Amazing capture Alan

May I ask what kind of metering you were using !?

I have spent many hours trying to capture Swallows in flight and will no doubt spend any more ...

Hey Amano, I was using Nikon's Matrix metering. Thanks.
