A pair of swans flyfishing
Well, what did you expect to see? :wink:

Taken from a hide at Talybont reservoir in Wales, UK.

We had to be very quiet in the hide, well, you know how easily spooked those fishermen can be :wink:

The swans didn't seem a bit bothered by the man and had just started building a nest which within a short while was quite a heap.

Minolta Dynax 7D
Sigma 50-500 EX
1/1250th second
f6.3
ISO 400
360mm
-0.3 stop exposure compensation
Centre-weighted metering
Hand held with the tripod mount resting on the window ledge.

Captured in mid cast, those swans really are not bothered.
