Good images. Not easy to capture not just because of their speed, but mainly I find due to their ability to change direction which sometimes seems to defy gravity.

can't describe it any better. There's tons of em here where i go on my weekend trips and in the early mornings they are really active chasing/eating bugs. They are so agile and can change direction that does defy gravity.

love the pics especially the last one with the reflection.

Capturing swallows in flight is and extremely challenging task....and you did a very nice job.
