Tree Swallows, BIF and more

I spend about a half hour taking photos of them as they flew past me. The first image was taken after it took off from a nest box. The others by studding there flight pattern witch repeat over time. I also watch for them to drop a shoulder as that's the first thing they do when they will turn. The photos were taken on an unusually hot spring day at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY.

well done Morris

Really enjoyed these Morris. They haven’t yet arrived yet at our place Upstate, but looking forward to when they do. They remind us of little acrobatic jet fighters.
Cheers!

Hi Morris. Nice to see you here. Lovely set. I particularly like the first photo with just a touch of motion blur at the wing tips to convey motion.

Thank you Fred,

I like to show some wing blur yet with these fast birds, high shutter speeds help improve my keeper rate.

Well done, and happy to see you here.

Thank you,

Morris
