Another barn swallow, taken with the R7. One of very few swallow shots that were sharp and in focus.

Well done! It's so difficult to get these sharp. It's difficult enough just to keep them in the viewfinder unless they are hundreds of metres away.

My dad's photo of a bird in flight - taken someplace in New England - maybe a Laughing Gull?

Well donw! It's so difficult to get these sharp. It's difficult enough just to keep them in the viewfinder unless they are hundreds of metres away.

Yeah, they're hard to shoot. Very fast but it's their erratic flight that makes it so difficult. Always nice to get a few in focus. Thanks, Jason.
