Hi Frank

The Swallow was perched on the ferry superstructure as we were awaiting departure, just before 7:00am, so the light was not the best; it was weak, low and coming from behind the bird, somewhat to (the viewer’s) right.

I wasn’t expecting to be shooting as we had just boarded the ferry and I had the 7D on auto. It was an opportunistic grab shot with the auto program selecting 1/400 sec, at F5.6, ISO160 with IS active – a lucky shot!

Cheers

Dennis
