A fine set, Elliott. I have yet to capture a decent swallow image.


I use a shorter focal length which makes it easier to follow them. So, based on their distance yesterday, I would normally use a lens in the range of 500mm. But with darting Swallows I used my 100-400mm with 1.4tc and set it around 260mm.
Thanks for viewing and commenting, Ken.

It was a beautiful day here in Philadelphia - the temperature got to 77ยบ - but it was very windy. I took a long walk through John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge - the migratory birds haven't yet arrived. There were many swallows, three Osprey fishing, and a few others. I'll post the Osprey tomorrow (I haven't processed them yet). The Tree Swallows provided the main entertainment.

Great swallow shots. A tough bird to capture in flight.

I was shooting at 1/5000 sec on a monopod. The wind was fierce which made it more challenging. Thanks, Ray.
