Barn Swallows – Wild Delmarva book select
I photographed these squabbling Barn Swallows a year ago in June using a 600mm lens. With that long telephoto lens there is virtually no depth of field. Your subject is either tack sharp or it is out of focus. I focused on the eye of the swallow on the phragmites and was very happy to see the flying swallow’s eye in exactly the same plane and sharp too. Sometimes, if you photograph wildlife enough, things line up just right.
Wild Delmarva is on press this week and my assistant Autumn is in China supervising the printing. We are on schedule for delivery the first week of November.
