Robert's Ramblings

There is something magical about freezing a moment in time and then taking the time to experience it.

As I sat today watching the swallows dive and drink from the river I though how amazing it would be to capture such a moment.

In the low light I struggled with aperture, shutter speed and depth of field. I needed high speed to freeze the movement but the large aperture and shallow depth of field made focusing almost impossible. After many attempts I decided I would need to come back and try another time when I had more patience.

In the meantime I can at least enjoy this one shot I got in focus as a swallow is coming into the frame.
