The Sign of Spring Photo

Photographer’s Note

But It's difficult to freezing her when she is flying,with her amazing high speed.
It was just a challenge :)
I took almost 7 shots,but I don't satisfy most of them.

Good shot. Not easy to do. I like the composition and the colors. The frame adds to the entire shot. Hope your spring is better than ours in Canada.

Regards,

mike

That's life, Mohammad, but at least you succeed with one shot. It's really a challenge; sometimes you have the idea and then it's a must to realize; well done!

Nice panning shot Mohammad. The blurred background gives an intersting abstract backdrop to the scene. I've been trying panning too a bit recently, as you've noticed.

Yes the swallows fly very fast above the ground,must be difficult to catch them.But you did a good job here,Mohammad!Good off-centered placement of the swallow.The sharpness is pretty good.I like the colors here.

Hi Mohammed,
You have done here what I have been trying to do for the past 2 years...:) Is she a swallow? But you have caught her nice and sharp in flight. A very wonderful shot

Ah, this is a swallow - they dart about so fast you were lucky to catch her Mohammad. Good capture and I like the busy background too. Well shown.

Bonsoir mon ami Mohammad,
Il y a un proverbe français qui dit "l'hirondelle ne fait pas le printemps" ! Mais ici, elle fait la joie du photographe qu'il faut féliciter pour cette réalisation.
Prendre en plein vol une hirondelle relève de l'exploit.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Dear Mohammad,
Indeed not easy such image! Perfectly the target frozen, the DOF is excellent, the Swallow perfectly sharp with the background blur, well seen.
Have a nice weekend.

I like this one a lot, Mohammad, the composition is terrific, and although it is an action shot, I find it very relaxing to look at, I think it's all those soft colors in the background. Nice one!
Best regards,
Matt

Hi Mohammad, An excellent panning picture. Nice capture. It is hard to follow birds fly because they change directions all the time. You have done an excellent job here. Well done. Congrats.

A lovely catch and one which I would love to take here as well - but too bad my camera not good for those kind of photos. I was very happy when I stepped out of the door at the morning, last day of April. A the top of the roof was "my" first swallow arrived and she gave a little song to say welcome - Too bad the our may month has been very cold and the birds seems to having problems getting started with the nesting.

Thanks Mohammad for this great work - I like the motion blur you got.

Regards
Jeppe

Dear Mohammad
This shot is full of warm colors and of movement feeling. In fact, it's full of life and the springtime symbol is well found. It was surely uneasy to freeze the swallow bird during it's flight, but you've managed to do it very well. It's just a great shot ! Congratulations and thanks for sharing !
Cheers.

Hello Mohammad,

Excelent capture of this nice little bird flying. It's very well focused and the blur of the surrounding gives the momment and the motion. Very well seen and composed!

Congratulations.
Fernando
