Well, the pictures aren’t great but the idea is there. If you look at the flying birds you can definitely tell they are moving. Even though they appear still I think the random positioning shows the motion.

Tree Swallows are among the more difficult birds to catch in flight. The pictures with the birds in the air are taken at 1/2000 of a second, the tree is 1/500 and you can really see the blur.

  1. You have a great blog, Frank, but there is a problem with it that I doubt you are aware of. I know that you have “liked” some of my posts in the past. You know that little drop-down box in the upper right corner? Every time I clicked on the link to your blog, this is where it would take me:
    https://picturethis.wordpress.com/
    This is a dead end. In fairness to yourself, you need to fix this so that when you like someone else’s WordPress post, they get the appropriate link to your blog.
