Going back a couple of weeks to a glorious morning down at the river. I set up with this oddly tilting dock as my main subject because I loved the light skimming the texture of its boards. I went with a straight horizon, meaning that there's a lot else that's crooked on this swiftly tilting planet. I love my Tamron 15-30 VC, and even moreso now that I've added the Fotodiox WonderPana filter system to it.
Technical Information: Canon EOS 6D, Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, Processed in Adobe Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC, and Alien Skin Exposure X (Coming Soon!)

An attempt at capturing Swifts flying directly towards me from my garden. Amazed that the 7D II managed to track these at all considering their speed!
Neotropical-palm Swift or fork-tailed palm swift -Tachornis squamata, on a overhead power line on the road between Cuiaba and Pocone , State of Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Small foxes native to short and mixed grass prairies of the West. Found in the Oklahoma panhandle and northwest corner of the state. Exact numbers of wild ones is not known, but they are found in only 40% of their historic range, so it follows their numbers are down accordingly. This one lives in the Oklahoma Trails Exhibit of the OKC Zoo.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I took over 200 pictures of flying Swifts and only managed to get a few sharp photos.
No fault with the camera, it was more the erratic flying as they twisted in the air whenever they saw an insect.
Last few photos now processed. They are very dark, so when you bring up the shadows they are quite noisy: Topaz Sharpen AI used on all to manage that.
Swift rescue. Amazed to find this little fella or lass in my daughters room. What an incredible bird to have in the hand. The wings are something else!
Taylor Swift tries to control her hair against the wind as she visits St. Paul’s Cathedral with a few friends in London on Thursday (May 7).
The 19-year-old country sensation tweeted, “Went to St. Paul’s Cathedral today. Four hundred gazillion stairs + being scolded three different times for having my camera out = fun.”
Taylor performed to a sold-out crowd last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

During Swift Response 2023 exercise I was able to attend some practices at Bardenas Reales shooting range in Spain by USAF A10s. No real fire (not even BRRRRRRRT, because of the ammunition) but great flying demos, some of them for the media. A great day!

Layang-layang Rumah sering disalah kenal sebagai Walit. Ia lebih besar saiznya berbanding Walid. Selalu kelihatan bersarang di bangunan di kawasan bandar dan kampung.
Photographing swifts is so much fun. It does after a few hours result in a lot of deleting as well as aching arms and shoulders. As the sun drops exposure is a lot easier but the window of opportunity is small. The red glow in this bird was about 10 mins before I had to give up for the day due to fading light.
Taken on a sunny, windy day at RSPB Frampton Marsh, which does help 'hold' them in the air a little longer when they whiz past you!
Every year at this time the Vaux Swifts gather at sunset to roost in select Portland area chimneys. This one is just two blocks from our house.

Swift Current Falls gets its name for a good reason. This is not a place you want to fall into the water. It would be more than a bumpy ride down. The locations is one of the easiest places to get to however most don’t see it from this angle because they look at it from the bridge above. While it looks good from above I really like the walk down to look back up at the falls and the Mountain in the background. I missed sunrise at this location because I was shooting wildlife but I would love to come back and shoot it during sunrise.
Thanks for your interest. Feel free to comment and/or follow me. I am happy to answer any questions.
