During a lull waiting for Western/Clark's Grebes at Lake Hodges last week with my good friend, Charles van Tassel, I managed to finally get a shot or two of Swallows in flight over nice water.

1DX, 600mm + 1.4X, tripod, ISO800.

Thanks for looking!

Great shot. I am impressed that you were able to get this with a 600mm + 1.4x. Beautiful water too!

Not an easy task keeping these guys in the frame especially with a long lens. Well done

Beautiful! Lovely swallow in flight and the colours dancing on the water are the icing on the cake.
