A Swallow's Tale by maggiemae

A Swallow's Tale

I can't believe what I just got on my new camera! Never been able to capture birds, let alone these acrobatic swallows! In Mt Rushmore and the Presidents heads are in the other direction but was so amazed at getting these birds in their nest, that I just about fell off the balcony I was standing in!

That's awesome!

Awesome shot

@brillomick I didn't know Sony was so good, Mickey! Everyone seems to have a Canon!

@grammyn Its very touristy here, Katy but not many people seem to have cameras!

@vskolnik Thank you Vee - thats real praise from you!

Great shot! I love swallows- but the colors on these are different than those around here (that's normal).
August 1st, 2014

Great shot, Maggiemae. Does your camera require interchangeable lenses or is it basically a point and shoot but with better features? This si amazing. Have to fav this.

Clever little builders, nicely spotted and captured.
August 1st, 2014  
Well worth the investment if it does shots like this maggie :-)
August 1st, 2014  
Great capture
August 1st, 2014  
amazing to see
August 1st, 2014  
Fabulous capture, Maggiemae! Wow, that zoom really is amazing!
August 1st, 2014  
Excellent shot

They are so neat to watch, and it sounds like you are having fun exploring your new equipment
August 1st, 2014  
@maggiemae It was raining the day I went so not even very many people. Strange about no cameras.

Ruth is in las Vegas and will be there a while. Are you going back that way?

Harry has a Sony & the zoom lens is x20 which is really good. We gave Anthony money towards a new camera for his birthday & he picked the same as your new one here.X50 zoom. Makes me wonder why we bother with additional lenses! I haven't got anywhere near a zoom like this & am going to have to fork out more money to get photos like this!
Wonderful picture & a complete new route to go down for you.

@prttblues Just what they call a compact camera, Bev...... it has the capababilty of a DSIL without interchangeable lens! I love it!
August 1st, 2014  
@grammyn We are flying to Europe from Minneapoilis, Katy so there will be more great things to photograph!

@happypat I know what you mean, Pat! Lens seem to cost so much and are so heavy to lug around. This one is also an excellent movie camera.!
August 1st, 2014  
@maggiemae mine isn't heavy as it's actually smaller than yours.....just ruddy expensive accessories ....wished now I had just got an ordinary good zoom. Mine goes nicely in my handbag so no cumbersome camera to lug about....yours is doing brilliantly.
August 1st, 2014  
Great capture and lovely lighting, your new camera is going to be a joy if you get this kind of result with it! FAV
August 1st, 2014  
Lovely shot
August 1st, 2014  
@maggiemae wow! You are really going around the world arent you?!
August 1st, 2014  
Grand shot Maggie...Fav
August 1st, 2014  
Wonderful MaggieMae, love it, fav
August 1st, 2014  
Good capture!

What a wonderful sight! So pleased you captured this on your new camera!
August 2nd, 2014  
Great action shot - well done!
August 2nd, 2014  
Loads of details as well - looks like a nice camera - not too heavy (on my mind as my neck' splaying up!)
August 3rd, 2014  
Well done! lovely action shot!
