I love taking shots of birds in flight and swallows are especially challenging as they are speedy and change direction constantly. Years ago on Flickr, l saw a photo of a swallow in flight and that showed me that it could be done given a lot of practice
Birds leave when you to get too close, but I wanted a shot that had little cropping. So, I added a teleconverter making my lens 560mm so I could be further away. I also hid in the shadow of a low wall so I wouldn’t be as visible.
It was a bright day, so I was able to change my aperture to f/10 to get more of the shot in focus and to increase my shutter speed to 1/3200 trying to decrease motion blur. Fortunately, I was able to keep my ISO at 800 so my shot would not have too much noise. I set my camera on burst mode and waited until something happened. Then I got lucky!

In this image the parent Barn Owl has just dropped off food to the young Barn Owl on top of the owl box on our property. The young owl hasn't been fed in at least fifteen hours and it's been screeching for food impatiently every since it came outside about twenty minutes earlier. The owls only come out and hunt (or wait for a delivery) after the sun has set.
Strobist info: Here's the description of the setup that I use for photographing the Barn Owls, and the owl house.The owl house is on top of a fifteen foot pole, which is about two feet in the ground, so the bottom of owl house is about thirteen feet off of the ground. I have one tall light stand on either side of the owl house, extended as high as they will go, and a third shorter light stand in the middle. The one on the left is lower because it is positioned on a slope that goes down from the house. The light stand in the middle is a shorter stand than the others, but it is extended as high as it will go. The flash on the left is a YN560, the middle flash is a Strobie 130 and the flash on the right is a YN560-II. All thee strobes are in manual mode set at 1/2 power. The middle and right flash are triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603 and the left flash is in slave mode and is triggered by the light from the other two flashes. I have a Yongnuo RF-603-N trigger on my camera which is triggered by an identical trigger that I have in my hand while sitting in a chair off camera. The Yongnuo triggers can act as either transmitter or receiver. The great thing about these triggers is that they are reliable, and are about $33 for a pair of them on Amazon. Wonderful technology at an amazing price. They're cheap, they work and they have a range of 15 meters.

When I was a little girl of about ten, my parents bought me a guitar. I had ached to have one and finally was off to my first lesson. I couldn't stand it. Somehow I felt frustrated with learning how to play rather than just playing. I quit. Twelve years later, the enthusiasm came again when I bought a guitar from a bartender in a restaurant I was working in. I would hold it and do simple strums and murmur strange sounds from deep within. I could not bring forth what I felt. Frustration would always come. A few years later, a man came into my life who listened to my humming and strumming. In his light I found the confidence to explore the vast ocean of feelings inside. He used to write me love songs and encouraged me to write songs with him. After he passed away, I picked up his guitar and under the guidance of a great Teacher found a pathway to the songs that waited for me to find them. These songs have helped me conquer grief, find forgiveness, maintain balance in all aspects of my day to day living. They have helped me to cultivate my inner self with higher ideals through aspirational poems and creative images. They are the medicine that my life journey came to share. Finally I understand Rabindranth Tagore's words with all my heart. I am One with his Vision.

Parent’s Login
The article is about Parent’s login but the article is for Teachers. Yes! Continue reading to know why.
Oh my Busy World! Educated parents but have no time to know how their kid’s education is shaping up.
How often parent teacher’s meet are held at schools and ‘how many parents really turn up to the meetings’ and how many hang up on calls with teachers giving excuses? But we really care about future of the growing buds. It’s important that every parent should know not only their kids academic performance but also when they win a first prize in running race or a drawing competition.
World was created from BIG BANG they said but see now the world runs on small phones! It’s the technology that’s ruling the world. People getting socialized, working on smart techs and trying new things have no time for traditional Parents Teacher’s meeting.
Modern parents need Modern monitoring methods. Don’t just make techno schools and try making students smarter. Make parents aware too.
Wake up, Schools don’t you feel it’s important to connect with the parents even if they’re busy? Oh! Yes it is.
With this concern we decided to connect Teachers and parents in the easiest way possible. MarvelSoft’s School Admin connects schools and parents online with Parent Login integrated with the software.
So how does it help parents and Schools?
We’ve desktop version of parent’s login app and also provide android application. In android application, the app is exclusively made available on the google play store to the parents of the kids studying in your school.
Parents are given a username and password to login into the software. The username and password is generated by the software for every student and the login details can be sent to the parents via SMS or mail from the School Admin itself.
Parents can use their respective username and password and login into the parent’s application to view student’s school activities and academic performance.
Not just the performance, a working mother can view their son’s school dairy on the way coming back home and plan for it before hand. A hard working dad can view his daughter’s Cultural event dates scheduled to free from work.
With the easy and beautiful User Interface, it’s quick and easy for the parents to monitor their kids even in their busy schedule.
