hello friends, after an absence here i am again,
in winter 2009 at a bird feeding station
when i started photographyng birds in-flight
at that moment i asked my sel if i will also
be able to shoot in photo Swallows in-flight,
and this is my 3th Swallow in=flight photo

but to tell you the truth friends, for 1 good photo
of a Swallow in-flight i have around 30 bad photos

now i am living (it sounds funny bad it is true)
with the dream that next year i will shoot
small birds in-flight with a DSLR

in the last around 10 days i passed all my
free times to do searches on 2 DSLR,
my choice has stopped to the Olympus DSLRs,
it will be or the E520 or the E620,
and today i am living with that dream

i wish that i will purchase it in september,
if i can not in september or october i will
wait to see the next entry-level Pentax DSLR
that will be a water proof (againts rain)
(wath i found in my web searches)

en attendant (French word) a DSLR here is
an in-flight photo done with my bridge camera,
just tell that i am dreaming to a DSLR, i am dreaming
that one day i'll do DSLR qualitiy photos of
dogs running, going on water, and birds in-flight

from All About Birds website :

« The Tree Swallow uses many feathers from
other birds in its nest. The feathers help keep
the nestlings warm so they can grow faster.
They help keep levels of ectoparasites,
like mites, low too. »

Merci

Hi Asbed,

Dreaming again, huh? I have a feeling this time you will make the dream come true. I LOVE this Starling. The wing position, colors and details are all excellent. The bird stands out beautifully against the perfect blue sky.

Jane

Asbed friend, regardless of you use a DSLR, a compact or a bridge, I can assure you that your photos have an own label, the product of your talent and dynamism.

Although ... really hope to see your work when you use a DSLR, will surely be a work superbly good!

Great photo of this bird in climb! great sky, good contrast!

Regards!

TFS!

Jesús

Hello Asbed,

Another stunner, what a perfect backdrop that clear blue sky. Excellent frozen action, really nice work MF, all the best,

Cheers Rick :)

All of the blue around it give s the bird a heavenly property....I wonder if you were perhaps thinking of your dog as you took this? If not in mind perhaps in your sub conscious...it certainly looks that way!
Bob

A great addition to your in-flight shots MF ASbed.
Perfectly composed and focussed...
TFS and have a nice day!
Cheers,
Bayram

Hello Asbed,
Great frozen shot of this swallow in flight. Swallows are so fast, so I appreciate it very much when I see the quality of this photo. Excellent sharpness and beautiful colours in a very good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Bonjour Asbed,

Une belle capture de cette hirondelle bicolore en vol. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'oiseau. Le sujet est bien cadré. Ce ciel bleu envoie une lumière qui met en valeur les couleurs de l'hirondelle. Bonne journée.
