Full Version: A couple of swans

I was at the river a few months ago, and there were about 10 swans flying around for about an hour. I've never seen swans fly for so long in the same place, going around and around in what seemed to be the same aerial 'route'. So I had a lot of opportunity to take some decent shots and could predict where they were going to be. Shame it was a dull day though, and also I wasn't as clued up on the best way to get such pictures as I am now. Some still came out pretty well though, and I think these are probably the best ones.

I'm not sure whether or not I should include the trailing water in this second shot or not? It doesn't look very good but at the same time, it shows where the swan took off from.

Great shots, number 2 is my pick, the backgroun in #1 is a little distracting.
