Nice shot Tony, looks like your coming to terms with that new cam.
I'm yet to get a decent swallow shot ... just too fast for my reaction time.

Thanks, West, I still have a bunch of learning to do.

Nice shot. I have trouble photographing these guys too, mainly controlling the exposure.

This one shows some grain. It looks like the younger one on the right was begging for food.

Wow, great detail and color. How close where you to the swallow?

They seemed to be okay with us standing about 15 feet away.
I'm using the 80-400vr at 400mm on my D7100.

Here is an image to show how close we were. My wife is using her D40 with a 80-200mm
