Swansong redux

[Vinam]

I must be somewhere around Swan post #10 lol .. oh well, little time to hunt exotic subjects and I needed to shoot something.. so here's a coupla swans,

The first couple needs to work on thier dance moves


Ok, que stage left, slow and steady.. keep your head up !


que stage right .. ok, bring it in ... together now .. keep it together !!

ok, here it comes ... ready ready ... NO NO !! you missed the mark !!

if I told em once, I told em a hundred times ... you must meet in the middle at the same time !!

Ok, bring in the stunt Swans,, all of you new Swans pay attention and watch the old Pros create the S curves



Ok, everyone got it ? ... no ducks are not allowed to participate in the S show .. you have stubby necks.. now lets try this again Swans ..

Hope everyone is well, I am a work machine lately as many of you know .. but I needed to make some time for DPS and although the humor is lame .. I kinda like the photos, thanks for taking a look,

Ahhhhh...I see my favorite Swan Whisperer has been hard at work.

Vin...when I opened this thread, I just sat back and went, "aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......." with a big smile. Each one is so different from the other, and each one stands out.

Don't you dare tell me you're not 100% happy with these (I know you!). Stellar work.

Funny, I was running errands the other day and went past a golf course with a pond and a swan was wandering the side of the road. I cursed myself for not having my Canon with me! I always have my tiny Sony p&s in my purse and should have stopped, but.....you know how it is, LOL!

Ya done good, my friend. REAL good.

Thanks FoG ..I'm glad you are able to appreciate the softness I have been addcited to lately .. I really like the glow it gives swans.. I like the first shot too .. something about it, I've gotta be up to about 500 shots of swans, one of my favorite subjects and easy for me when I don;t have time for a long shooting session.. glad you like them !

i love these photos and you captured the two meeting perfectly in the last HA HA and the humor/narrative was funny NOT lame. Thanks for sharing and making me laugh! Kimi

And a big hello to you Vin......these are all really good. I really the shots that you take when the water is very dark....provides more contrast with the white swans. I don't see any swans around here so it is always a treat to see them when you post.

Hey, Vin....Swans and your great sense of humor are always welcome! I never realized the "S" was so essential to the quintessential swan shot but you're right. I wonder if there are remedial "S" classes? Nice series, Vin. Nice to see you!

A lovely selection as always, the music swells in my mind, you are;

Dances with Swans

The story of a man who forms a relationship with a tribe of other photogrpahers whose language and traditions he tries to understand, whilst having a personal journey with White Socks, and Webbed Feet, his shy yet frequent visitors

Good job Vin

hiya Vin...
great set of images my friend...
looking at your swans.. reminds me of a song sang by a charming prince when the swan turns to be a beautifull princess....

...I know you I walk with you once upon a dream...
I know you a glimpse in you eyes are so familiar a glimpse...

great job my friend....
