Hello,

Bit of an experiment with this post. I took a whole sequence of shots of this Swan taking off last weekend and wanted to show them in their entirety. First time i've tried any sort of multiple shot presention so would be interested in what you may have to say.

Each image was sharpened, rotated (where applicable) and then resized accordingly. I hope the loss of quality isn't too much and doesn't detract from what i am trying to show here. I wanted to show more but i don't think 800 x 600 would've allowed any more to be crammed in...

Hope youy're all having a good and productive weekend...

nice montage but the size limits on Trek limit the impact. i'd sharpen them a bit. color seems a bit off. still a nice image that conveys how swans get airborne.

Paul,

It's a good documentary shot(s). The montage works well, because the sequence flows.
Some of the shots could be improved slightly,(contrast, saturation, cropping out the buildings etc) but with demonstrating this sort of action, I don't think it really matters.

Hello Paul,
Excellent montage showing the struggle these large birds have gettting off the water, thanks for sharing this was a great post Paul.

Hi Paul..

I think that this works pretty well as a documentary image of this very large bird struggling to achieve take off speed. Might work well in panoramic format if you line up the buoys etc ?

Hey matey

Nicely put together, and showing how cumbersome swans are on take off but then how majestic they are in flight. Good shot mate and nice POV.

Paul
