Caught this swift in flight at a local dock while having a few hours out with the camera and my dad.
This post is mainly about processing, so if your not too bothered you can stop reading and just check out the image :)
The Original Raw for this image was not the best to be fair, the sky had a red Tint, quite a bit of noise as shooting into the sky at ISO 800 on any Canon APS-C Camera and cropping tends to do that as I think the blue channel gets most of the noise and the crop is also quite big. The bird however was quite sharp. This image was one I used while trailing Capture one Express 7. A sale is on and it can be picked up for less than £40. The pro version is also on sale but At around £100 I wasn’t really willing to pay the extra for the pro features I didn’t need. I decided to give it another go after many failed attempts to get much of it. I figured I needed a bit more education on it and some youtube vids and reviews certainly helped with that. I gave it ago and it wasn’t long before I bought it. I was impressed at the quality I got from this image in particular as in combination with Photoshop for the finishing touches the Colours have come out more natural but with a good saturation and tone. The red tint I normally experience with images shot into bright blue sky is not present and the colours of the bird shine through as swifts aren’t pure black viewed up close.
I’ve also tried a few other images when processing and was quite impressed at the results. I still have a lot to learn about it but Im sure it’ll come with time and a few more vids/articles read. With the recent news that Apples Aperture software is being replaced by a new Application that probably won’t be as pro grade to start with as aperture it may also become useful as an image management application in the future.

A pair of Swift 9x42 SPWA binoculars which date from, I believe, the 1980s or 1990s. They are slightly scruffy externally in places, but mechanically and optically immaculate. They are solid but lightweight and promptly claimed by my wife! They were bought for £4.99 in a charity shop.
I believe the SP stands for "Swift Pyser", but don't know about the WA.
