Spotlight on Swans

by Gary Minish

Gallery: AvianPosted December 1, 201496 views4 comments
A trumpeter swan with 3 of it's Cygnets at the river bank as the sun went down. The low direct light found it's way through all the trees and brush to light up the scene for only a few moments.

Sony ILCE-6000, SEL55-210, 57mm (85mm equiv.), f8.0, 1/600, handheld.

Very dramatic lighting and an interesting scene taken from a wider angle that we don't see often here in avian. I wish for some separation between the birds on the shore and the adult in the water but unlikely you could have done anything differently to achieve that here. :toast:
