"Cliff Swallow"

After several morning visits to a well-known local breeding site, I managed this more-or-less pre-envisioned shot. I had to wait for the tide to be high enough to cover the unsightly mud background, and for pleasing overcast light. Once this came together, the 1Ds2 and 300/2.8 at f4, 1/2000th, mounted on a shoulderstock, delivered the goods.

About the Photogapher

I've been a bird photographer for about 25 years, and a birder for over 40. I can think of no better way to spend my time than out in the field, among the wildlife I know, and the wildlife I don't know, enjoying and learning. I hope future generations are given the same privilege.
