@kolombiken taking photos of birds is wonderful, sharpness is not essential. I have to travel to see them, cos I have none anywhere near me. Always like to see them.
@rlcw@ecoevo.social @c0c0bird@chaos.social @stubacon@mastodonapp.uk yeah, here in UK swallows are known as Barn Swallows, i guess due to their love of outbuildings. If you have a shed, leave a window removed, you'll probably get swallow nesting if you have them in the area
@stubacon@mastodonapp.uk thanks Stu, it was surreal looking through the viewfinder. The light was harsh but at an angle I could get the bird clearly (albeit at a distance)
@derickr@phpc.social that's nice. I get loads of kites simular to that. One day you'll catch one lower and in perfect light and the result will be magic. I take 100's of photos, and only keep a small number of them. The more you go out and take photos, the more opportunities you'll get to see wonderful birds in different situations. Now and then you'll get one that is perfect.
