Swans on the Sudbury Meadows...

Morning again,

Blimey, I'm in photo mode today... These are a few shots from last week on the Sudbury Water Meadows. While I was walking the new dog a few swans came screaming down.


What type of swans are these? They are always hanging around the meadows as a the locals feed them bread there.


Actually it was pretty hard to get a decent shot of them while they were flying. That is one thing I don't like of my Konica Minolta Dimage Z3, the shutter time only goes up to 1/250 of a sec. That is slow when you want to capture fast moving images. My original Minolta Dynax 7000i had a max speed of 1/8000th of a sec and you could capture a racing car screaming past and still end up with a razor sharp image. Maybe it is time to invest in a decent Digital SLR...

Still, the images aren't too bad, at least the light was good.

Cheerio,

Alex.
