Swallow at Upper Lake

August 2nd, 2008

Catching insects above upper lake’s reflective surface, a violet-green swallow was my subject yesterday as I sat on a rock at water’s edge with the morning sun to my left.

Focusing manually as swallows and swifts darted and dipped over the lake, I watched their flight patterns through the lens. Then, every time I nailed the focus on a bird, I’d capture several images while panning with the bird.
