I find these birds so fun to watch, and a real challenge to catch with the lens. This was taken earlier in the year at a nature area.He/she was flying around probably catching insects, they had a nest close by.
This was my first time out with the Nikkor 80-400 Lens, and it's a handheld shot. I rarely use a tripod anymore because you never know what photo opt is going to appear, and they can get in the way. :)
Thank you for commenting.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Super action shot, SAS, and very sharp and striking against the neutral background...bravo on this one.

I thought yesterday was supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life but it turns out today is. (Steve Martin)
A terrific motion capture of this swallow. Kudos, Sandi!

Beautiful stop action shot Sandi. Nice contrast bird against the background.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
A splendid capture Sandi !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Whoah! Outstanding freeze on this one, Sandi, your shutter speed set so well you must have been waiting. I'm guessing there were plenty of photos on your card that didn't turn out well (mine, too :o). That's one of the things I really enjoy about today's digital photography... no longer held to 36 exposures you can't see until you pay cash to get them developed. Swallows are particularly difficult to capture because they're very fast and they flit all the time, their flight path quickly variated as much as it is straight. To catch one with this clarity, on your first try, and handheld, is amazing. For myself, I use a tripod about 75 percent of the time, a monopod about 5, and handheld about 20. I trust my equipment but perhaps not so much my own noggin. ;oP

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Good action shot and well done handheld.
