Swans wide angle shots.

A little diffrent from my norm as its not offten i use my 17-40
1dmk2 17mm 1/1000f4 iso200 and 1/500 f8 iso 100 had a right storm 5 minute's after i took these .

Good shots. The first one is my favorite.

LOVE #1. I'm surprised you could get that close.

Way to go!

Wide lenses can give some pretty good effects.. You took some interesting ones.. Good shots..

I don't know if I'd want to get too close.. Those mute swans can be nasty at times.

Nice shots Rob - just got a 17-40 myself but never thought about using it for birds!

Very nice captures from a different perspective. Well done Rob.

Nice one Rob - were you hanging a bit of bread off the lens hood?

Hi Rob,
I love #1 a fun shot that was well executed, I like how you cropped the shot, how do you think a little more room on the left would work (very little?)

i think i croped it a bit tight really a bit more to the left and a bit more above the head would work better but sometime's for showing on here i often crop tight only to show detail in the bird .
