This Photogging Lark Can be Dangerous

Less than a minute separates the first and sixth images of yesterday's land-speed record-holding swan!!

[Diana]

Great sequence of shots!

[Susan Wakely]

Great collage in this effective tile arrangement. Speedy swan looking for treats.

[Maggiemae]

The swan has a nasty bite so you could be in danger as you took all these good captures!

[Joan Robillard]

Nice collage

[william wooderson]

So this is before you got pecked all over? You're very brave!

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a collection of wonderful captures!

[narayani]

Hahaha!

[Junko Y]

Haha what a fun post this is! Such visual storytelling.

[Babs]

He definitely looks as though he is objecting to you taking photos. You were brave to stand your ground, hope it didn't end in you getting attacked.

I love how you have created the collage. This was definitely a man with a mission! I also love that you got that many photos in that short amount of time and they are all good

[Merrelyn]

They can certainly move quickly. Our black swans can get a bit aggressive. I hope this one wasn't.

[Jacqueline]

Great story telling!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

you are taking your life in your hands haha

[haskar]

Big applause to you. You kept the peace till the end and you've got a beautiful series.

It was a little disconcerting the speed this swan got to me, I managed to get up and back off quite nimble-ish. Surprising how adrenaline numbs a dodgy hip!!

Thank you all for your lovely comments

[wendy frost]

Brilliant collage and Swan captures. Pleased to hear you survived the advance from the Swan.

[Kathy A]

Great story telling. I'm glad you escaped unharmed

[JackieR]

@kjarn @wendyfrost didn't realise I could be so nimble
