Some photos of swans that i took this weekend. No editing just a couple of crops. Bit difficult to get decent shots due them beeing white, but these, i feel, didn't come out too bad.

This poor chap, i assume its a male, just had his butt kicked by another swan so was, i assume, feeling somewhat p'd off.

Great work as ever, Mac. I know what you mean about them being difficult to shoot, you really need a telescopic lens to get enough of a zoom on them to cut out the surroundings.

I find its more to do with them being white which causes them to be over exposed quite often?

Yeah he wasn't happy, lost his dignity more than anything i think.

You are joking about hiring right? It's just a hobby :)

Bah I was expecting a pic of Mac doing a "look at the Swans" pose ;)

Last year we had Swans in our local pond, we got to watch the little ones growing up. I think they are gone now, not been for a few months.
