I have nowhere to go after shooting the nesting Pied Triller in UP and whats better to do than check out our favorite spot - Hardin ng Rosas!! There were just a little bird activity because it was harvest time for the Ipomoea aquatica but it was so hot that the swallows started diving into the water to get a much needed cooling down. So I trained my camera on them hoping to get just one clear shot at the swooping birds. So, after about 50 shots this is the best that I was able to get ;D Pacific Swallow ( Hirundo tahitica) taken at Hardin ng Rosas, UP Diliman, QC - 40D + 300 mm L f4.0 IS, f 4.0, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, Hand held, Manual Exposure, In available light, RAW Capture.

Wow, a swallow in flight, that must have been really difficult to catch. Nice wingspread and detail. Great shot Neon. That PNT surely gave you some practice.

Excellent timing and capture, Neon!! I, too, gave up on shooting the swallows in flight. Terrific job!
