Never got anything even close to that with flying swallows - very nice! :wink: I would consider toning down the bright chest and lower part of the wing.

I agree with Ofer about toning down the chest a little, though it is a young bird so it should be somewhat light colored. I can't imagine how hard it would be to get a shot of a swallow in flight. You must have been waiting for him to jump from his perch or something?

500 mm + 2xTC central sensor on the 1DM2. Excellent technique for sure to capture this swallow in flight. :)

Very, very difficult to capture a swallow in flight, Rob. Nice job.

Hi Rob

An excellent capture regardless of the technique used & the colours look pretty accurate to me.

An amazing photo Rob. I'm picking up a hard blue edge on the leading edge of the birds left wing. May be my tired eyes :)
