Swan Lake Ballet

Description

This was shot in Nova Scotia at a farm. The swan glided into a patch of sun and I exposed just for the brightness of the scene letting the background fall into complete darkness. Since the BG was extremely cluttered this was the only way to do it. Lens was a 28 to 300mm Tamron.

Thanks a lot, Roger, Tammy, Carla and Christy. I just wish it had been a little sharper , but at 300mm actually 480mm due to the .6 digital factor, it's hard to hand hold at a slow shutter speed. I really have to use my tripod more!! #1230512
