bonjour a tous.
aujourd'hui j'ai decidé de vous faire un petit "cygnes" de champagne ardennes.
c'est le premier que j'arrive a prendre en vol,bien sûr malgré la lumiere assez basse en cette saison les ailes sont un peu trop exposées mais cette photo me plait bien quand même,j'espere qu'a vous aussi!
la photo a été tres legerement recadré,prise avec le 70-300 monté avec le tele 1.4 kenko.vous allez me dire:
mais pourquoi un teleconvertisseur alors que la focale etait sur 81mm,et bien simplement que j'ai été surpris du passage de ce cygne a seulement trois ou quatre metres de moi sur le canal de la haute seine.

Hello to all.
Today I decided to get a little "Swan" champagne ardennes.
This is the first that I get to take flight, of course, despite the fairly low light this season in the wings are a little too exposed but I like this picture well anyway, I hope that you too!
The picture has been very slightly cropped, taken with 70-300 mounted with tele 1.4 kenko.vous will say:
But why teleconvertisseur while the focus was on 81mm, and many simply that I was surprised by the passage of this swan has only three or four metres away from me on the channel of the high seine.

Hi Laurent.
I am very pleasant to be near you and your amazing in-flight picture. It is simply great with amazing pose and wingspread of the bird. I am impressed with perfect reproduction of the scenery. Superb timing, excellent sharpness and details of the entire image, amazing colours and exposure and composition is spot on. Bravo. Excellent job.

Bonsoir Laurent,
You captured this low-flying Mute Swan against a fine BG of brushwood and this together with the great lighting, timing,POV and composition mke this a very fine image.
TFS,
A bientôt,
Ivan

Hello Laurent,
An impressive in flight Swan. The highlights are well detailed. No blown highlights to detect.
Good sharpness.

Ohhhh, mais c'est tout joli tout ca !!!!
Ce que j'aime le plus c'est sa pose avec sa tête tournée vers toi comme pour te faire un "cygne"
D'ailleurs si on me donne l'occasion de faire une aussi jolie photo en vol, je "cygne" à deux mains

Hi Laurent,
very impressive capture, the down position of the wings looks great and you have achieved super sharp focus with excellent exposure in those white feathers, which contrast very nicely against the background.

Bonjour Laurent, quelle belle capture que ce cygne en vol, je trouve l'exposition très bien réussie avec des détails très nets et un focus exemplaire, superbe! Bravo et merci,

Mario

c'est une chance de les voir en plein vol de si près, dans un cas pareil j'aurais pu en prendre une ;) 81mm c'est dans les cordes de mon Lumix... mais comme la mise au point n'est pas pratique je l'aurais sûrement loupée !
bon focus, une belle prise, un moment décisif !
amicalement
jo

bravo encore une fois pour cette prise parfaite, bons réglages, couleurs nettes
bien vu, moi aussi je prends deux minutes pendant ma permission pour te faire cygne
bissssssssss

Bonjour Laurent!
Thanks for your kind critique on my bird picture.
I have interacted with you after a long time. What a pleasure to re-establish links!
You have shot this flying bird very deftly. Very sharp focus and superb details. The forest in the BG looks wonderful.
