Wow ! How did you shoot this? Near the nest? Track and pan ?
If I participate in your workshop, will I get an image like that afterwards? :p:p
Alan guarantees that but only if you study the Songbird Set-up Guide first! From the hanging feet to the raised wings to the SH to the BKGR all is perfect. My guess is that this is a manual pre-focus takeoff-job....Originally Posted by Desmond Chan

That's what I thought :)
Nice image. Tack sharp head, great background and comp, and I like the wing position.
Amazingly sharp image Alan! My hat is off to you.

Wow Alan that is absolutely stunning. Love the eye contact and the feet position - must have just taken off?
Awesome shot. Great sharpness, light and BG. I wing pose is perfect.
Markus
Wow Beautiful shot, really laying the swallow is superb. excellent display and I see the point in the eye
Don't get much better then this!!!!!! Everything is spot on.
Nothing get's by Artie :-) Yes, this was a manual pre-focus take off shot.
Always a treat to view your images Alan.
Alan, light is great here. Excellent wing position and those dangling feet add a lot here IMO. Thx for sharing. A bit surprised at the freeze at 1/320 SS.
Yeah, if only I could do it.
