I paid a visit to the Dam Pond, there are always lots of swans there, but most of the time they are way off out of lens capture, but I was lucky this day, there was a pair up close to the dam, so I singled out this one.

Equipment: Canon T3i, and canon ef70-200mmf/fL lens with the kenko DGX 1x4 converter.

Thank your for your comments, and support. I do like the new camera, I'm very satisfied with it, and now giving thought to selling the canon 450D, since I really do not need two DSLR's. :)

---I'm very satisfied with it, and now giving thought to selling the canon 450D, since I really do not need two DSLR's.---

Had the same 'problem' with my Nikon's, Sandi, but I was offered to less money for the surplus body, so I kept it. When I'm on a photoshoot, I have now one body with a general purpose lens attached to it, and a macro lens attached to the other body. Prevents me from changing lenses, and it avoids that dust will come on the sensors.

Beautiful swan capture. The tones are very vivid. Very good work!

Regards, Cornelius.

Gracious indeed. Great capture of this beauty.
Love the detail in this pic.. water ripples, the tiny weather floating in the air and the reflection of the lovely swan in the water..
Well done!

Mr. C. gave a great suggestion, and that is what I'll do to help save lens change overs. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I like the single feather in the water Tigz. Good idea with the camera's. The swan is beautiful with the dark blue water and ripples.

Beautiful swan shot, Sandi. I like the way the swan is picking at fleas. LOL.

Unless you need the money, don't sell the other camera. You never know when you will need it. Speaking from experience. Beautiful swan.
