Loveheart Swans fishjam45Participant March 4, 2007 at 11:13 am Was watching this pair of swans for ages yesterday, looked like they were doing some knida mating ritual? :? Can anybody shed any light on what they would have been doing . . . they kept copying each others exact movements . . . ReneMember March 4, 2007 at 12:09 pm Its a mating ritual. Its how they show each other affection… fishjam45Participant March 4, 2007 at 12:25 pm cool, thanks Rene joe_elwayParticipant March 4, 2007 at 3:42 pm You’ll see mated pairs greet each other after being apart by bobbing their heads either side. Vert nice light. How does it look with a tighter crop? fishjam45Participant March 5, 2007 at 6:36 pm dunno Aidan, i’ll give it a go now . . . fishjam45Participant March 5, 2007 at 6:44 pm and here she is . . . any better ya think? joe_elwayParticipant March 5, 2007 at 7:12 pm I think so. There’s less empty space and it brings out the shape that you were aiming to capture. fishjam45Participant March 5, 2007 at 7:13 pm I agree, it does actually focus on the ‘Loveheart Shape’ I was aiming for Cheers RobertoMember March 5, 2007 at 8:10 pm The crop version is much better. They are so cute. You can feel the love between them… :) PeteTheBlokeMember March 5, 2007 at 8:53 pm Did you feel like a prurient paparazzo when you were watching? Lovely photo. I quite like the first version – gives a bit of context. PixelleMember March 5, 2007 at 10:06 pm gives a bit of context. :?: :) Noely FParticipant March 6, 2007 at 12:33 pm Classic swan shot and the lighting is great :wink: fishjam45Participant March 6, 2007 at 6:03 pm Noely F wrote: the lighting is great :wink: took it just after sunrise, my favourite time for shooting, love the light at that time of day . . . AliParticipant March 6, 2007 at 6:25 pm so so nice :) you can almost feel it. fishjam45Participant March 6, 2007 at 6:35 pm everybody say awwww :) Bray Harbour is full of Swans if anybody wants to shoot some pics themselves, probably best to go at low tide though Viewing 15 posts - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 2 → You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
