Finally posting a photo taken on the same day!
Just about had time, after my morning swim, to take the river route to work, as the sun was out.
Not really time to stop though, so just took a point and shoot of this swan taking a morning run straight down the river - as they often do. I ususally completely miss this shot, so this one is quite good for me.
You've really caught the wing movement and even have a shimmering reflection in the river. I like the dark water and then the sunlight on the grass beyond the trees Helen. You have a lovely walk to work with scenes like this en-route.
Love the way you have caught his wing feathers separating, It's really lovely. I'm struggling at the moment. I've been told off by a fellow for changing dates on photos!!!! I was caught out! I'm trying to get motivated again but it's hard sometimes.
@janemartin no need to change the dates - just post them anyway. Not everyone can keep up with the daily photo - it is very demanding if you have work to go to. I have given up beating myself about it. The main thing is to feel that some progress is being made. I know your photography has come on greatly over the time I have been following. Im sure you will soon get motivated again, when the sun comes out and you suddenly see something crying out for the camera. Good luck!
@flowerfairyann I am indeed very privileged in being able to take this route to work. I just need to be organised enough to leave an extra 10 minutes, but it is well worth it when I can.
@maggiemae huge maybe, but I still find it troublesome to respond quickly enough and then track them in order to get them in the frame and in focus. I was in luck today.
@stimuloog thanks Marloes, there was lovely light this morning. @suzanne234 timing was good fortune, light and contrast down to nature. I just happened to be there and alert enough to respond for once :)
