Barn Swallow in Flight

I haven't been shooting anything too spectacular recently so thought I would show a favorite of mine taken at Misquamicut last summer. It was a cloudy day and there were lots of these swallows flying low over the marsh grass catching insects on the wing. I realized that as I would walk through the grass, I would scare up lots of insects which would make the swallows dive closeby grabbing the bugs. I used this to my advantage and was able to walk away with two shots that I still have in my files, and this is the better of the two I think. It still is one of my favorite photos mainly because they are soooo hard to get in flight.

  1. Cool shot Josh! Great tactic to get this image.
    These guys are really tough to get in flight, and you got him sharp with great details here.
