| Comment | I was trying out the subject tracking capability of my mirrorless camera and it is impressive. I took many hundreds of shots of these Welcome Swallows and most were in focus including this one. I like the composition here as bird hangs in air momentarily while hunting for insects. | ||||||||||||||||||
