Once again, turning to my camera in a fight to keep my sanity. I pretty much do office type work all day in my dining room so I spend evenings and weekends outside as much as possible. On this day I saw this swallow sitting on a perch near a pond here in northern Virginia. This guy was really curious and wasn't about to give up his perch at the sight of my rig. I actually had to backup from him to allow my lens to lock-on (150-600mm). They are pretty acrobatic flyers...wouldn't have a chance at snapping one in flight.
Anyways, what do you like and what would you do differently?
