Swan in flight
Got lucky during this Sundays walk, a swan was flying by. Just lifted up the camera and fired some bursts with the 28-135. What a beautiful and calm sight (and such a huge animal)

Nice job. it must have been hard to keep him from underexposing?

Re: Swan in flight
Very nice Bossel. You were quick on the draw, ;^)
Re: Swan in flight
Shows that swans don't look eligant and graceful merely while on water but in all fluent conditions...
Very nice photos Bossel, congratulations. A good sequential set.

Re: Swan in flight
Excellent Thomas. I like them. You got the bird very sharply.
Re: Swan in flight
I'm sorry, how much did you pay this swan again? I mean he's paused in mid-flight so you could focus!
Seriously though, nice shots, and is that full frame or cropped sensor 135? I'm guessing the latter.

Re: Swan in flight
Bossel- a wonderful series. I would count myself fortunate to get just one of your series... Oie1 and Oie5 are my favorites. 1 -for making flying look so easy and effortless.. 5- I love that little bit of sky between the body and the wing.. Well captured indeed. John
P.S. how may shots did you take in total?

If the last thing you remember hearing is somebody yelling 'CLEAR!!!', assume you've had a problem!!
a77, a700, a200, Minolta 8000i, NEX C3, NEX 5N and more lenses than my wife suspects!

Re: Swan in flight
Thanks all for your comments!
The pictures are slightly cropped. I used the central focus sensor so the swan is in the middle and I cropped to get him out of there!
Got two bursts of about 5-6 pics, then he was gone/too far.

Re: Swan in flight
Great shots Thomas - what beautiful shapes the swan makes and you have captured these wonderfully. I agree with Ewan that it looks like the swan has stopped to let you take the shot .
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
