One photo every day: Someone wanted to pose for my camera... (337/365)
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!

If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
Is it a shorter version of a penguin?? Can you eat it? :D
I mean, it's cute.
Heh, I doubt you could eat it, it's just too small. ;)
Perfect timing for a 'that's what she said' Joke!
But I won't tell that, because I'm a gentleman!
I like the approach you give to photography, a cute little bird to photograph it, I hope Ninnu behaves well on the way, have a nice day!
I almost forgot! Thanks for reminding me! :) Oh, and she's doing fine!
Quiet friend, the good thing is that it can help you, thanks to you rather ... whatever you need, we are here to help you
This chick looks so surprised.😄 That’s a great catch!
What can i say, maybe today is your lucky day, i mean just look at that pretty bird with the "killer pose" issa baad birrrd lol
Good capture, I understand perfectly ... there are times when we have no animosity of anything, but it is good that you walk a bit and you can make a good picture, I leave my support and one tip is that you never give up
Wow it looks great that photo, was very close or is with the zoon of the camera, very good details can be seen from that bird.
It looks like a pichon, as we say in Venezuela
The bird was only a little under 2 meters away and it just let me come right in front to take the photos. Oh, and yes, I used the 75-300mm lens.
This photo is taken on a Saturday in a park, I made a post of the daily photo with her. By the way in the question of my post where you gave an answer, until now you are winning
You are an exercise machine. Gym, shopping, walk the dog. You should be getting into shape already.
If only I could get my sleep schedule in order.
@gamer00 - Sir this photography reminds 'Angry Bird'... Beautiful nature scenery Sir... For me your all nature photography are best of bests...
+W+
These are awesome little birds man, they are marvels in how much stamina and power they have for something so small and fragile. Yo are also turning into a movement master, will you be doing a baywatch shoot soon?
Baywatch? :DD
Bwhahahaha, ya, you know, the red speedo and slow run on the beach thing?
@gamer00,
I think this is not the same one that you photography before! I agree this is one of the best nature photography of yours. Good night Jaro!
Cheers~
