Hello and good evening!
I finally got to editing, and here's my story...
When I posted my earlier post in the beach café in Messilä, about not being able to find anything to shoot, and how I didn't even feel like taking the camera out of the bag, I didn't yet know what would happen.
Before going to my car, I thought "whatever, I'll try shooting some photos here". And almost as soon as I whipped out the camera, I got lucky. Although, at first, my target, a redwing was a bit too nicely hidden in the tree, and I couldn't get a clean shot. But then when i walked along the pier and came to the spot where I had previously photographed a barn swallow, I noticed a similar swallow in the head of a mooring pike.
I tried shooting my camera at it, but it decided I wasn't close enough and flew right in front of me, on the shorebank that went along the other side of the pier. And here's the little guy:
Haarapääsky :: Barn swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Might even be the same guy as before. Who knows? Although, this one looks a bit younger.
I got many different shots, but I think this one is kind of interesting. Also one of the very best I ever took. I've not gotten as clear images as this one on my 300mm lens, but maybe once or twice before.
I will post some other shots later, but I think I'll have to go walk Ninnu again. So see ya! :)
And good night!
