Mute Swan in evening light

April 03, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

The early part of 2012 has seen few opportunities for photography outside of the back garden. I do, however, try and carry my camera wherever I go, just in case. And I try not to overlook the common bird species - after all a half decent photo of a common bird in nice light is better than an out of focus rarity in the gloom!

So on a family visit to Melton Country Park, after playing football with my son, and our daughter's first foray into riding a bike without stabilisers (!!!), I was pleased to grab a few snaps of a Mute Swan in early evening light. When photographing Swans, I like getting in close and using the curve of the Swan's neck. The water drops coming from the bird's beak were an added bonus.
