Drake in Flight

[Swallow Brae]

This was a shot that I got this morning when I stopped off at Lough Neagh in Antrim. It's my first attempt at panning, so any advice as always, is welcome.

Panning nicely done as well, perhaps a touch overexposed.

Thanks for the feedback Ken. I was shooting in manual and this bird took me completely by surprise as I was shooting static birds just before he flew past, hence the lack of preparation.

I'm looking forward now to trying more shots 'on the wing'.

Tough to catch in flight though, quick little beggars!
