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!

[Vee]

That's awesome!

[Ann M.]

this is interesting!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great shot. What an interesting nest.

[Terry]

So cool nice job

[Rach_who]

That is one very fancy mud nest

[Sandy]

Oh wow. Very cool shot.

[Rob Crosby]

Nicely done. Enjoy the birds.

[Nita]

Fabulous capture, so fun to have you new camera working so well for you.

[summerfield]

well, don't fall now! :-) topnotch capture, maggiemae. and holy cow! that nest is incredible!

[katy]

Mt Rushmore is overrated! (not really ) but this is a magnificent shot that no one else got I am sure!

[Mickey Anderson]

wow, wonderful capture of this superb nest! Stay safe....lol

[Mickey Anderson]

ps , I love my Sony camera, that looks like the newer one!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Maggiemae]

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

[Maggiemae]

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

[Maggiemae]

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

[Ann H. LeFevre]

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

[Lesley Chisholm]

Love it!!

[Mike Gifford]

Excellent capture!

[Angela Tavan]

wonderful capture! Fav!

[Bev]

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.

[Tony]

Clever little builders, nicely spotted and captured.

[Phil Howcroft]

Well worth the investment if it does shots like this maggie :-)

[Debi 🐩]

Great capture

[kali]

amazing to see

[Gillian]

Fabulous capture, Maggiemae! Wow, that zoom really is amazing!

[Claire]

Excellent shot

[Rick Schies]

They are so neat to watch, and it sounds like you are having fun exploring your new equipment

[katy]

@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?

[Pat Knowles]

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.

[Maggiemae]

@prttblues Just what they call a compact camera, Bev...... it has the capababilty of a DSIL without interchangeable lens! I love it!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn We are flying to Europe from Minneapoilis, Katy so there will be more great things to photograph!

[Maggiemae]

@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.!

[Pat Knowles]

@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.

[judith deacon]

Great capture and lovely lighting, your new camera is going to be a joy if you get this kind of result with it! FAV

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely shot

[katy]

@maggiemae wow! You are really going around the world arent you?!

[tony gig]

Grand shot Maggie...Fav

[Margaret Obey]

Wonderful MaggieMae, love it, fav

[Daisy Miller]

Good capture!

[Pam Knowler]

What a wonderful sight! So pleased you captured this on your new camera!

[Whysu]

Great action shot - well done!

[Judith Greenwood]

Loads of details as well - looks like a nice camera - not too heavy (on my mind as my neck' splaying up!)

[Anatoly]

Well done! lovely action shot!
