I have tried and failed, for a while, to photograph Tree Swallows as they chase bugs around a field. They are fast, and the make u-turns at impossible speeds. It became a challenge - an old-age obsession. So, recently, I went to a park where they have returned for the Spring; I sat in the grass where I could easily spin around, yet maintain a solid grip on the camera and telephoto lens. These were shot at f/8, 1/1600, and ISO3200-5000 on a cloudy day. I used Adobe Lightroom to develop the RAW.
