Alright...
Meghan challenged me (without her knowing). I had 30 min before we went to dinner to take pics, process them and post them.
i am 3 minutes over my limit (wife is going to kill me).
I saw the swifts at 4:30 PM. Three to 5 of them circling. Got the camera, took 7 pictures. 2 of them turned out. I wanted to take more but the swifts disappeared.
More to possibly come this weekend, light permitting (my camera settings are nuts! ISO over 3000, shutter speed at 1/2500, f8 at 11)

Yes much sharper then the last set.
More target practise should do it - provided wife has'nt killed you already :)

Nice ones Richard, these guys are tough!

See, my tips do pay off every once in a while. :wink:
These birds are tougher than tough to shoot, so I commend you to even get them in the frame.
I know I couldn't.
Great job on these, by the way you're going the next ones should be perfect right? :D
