Awesome shots. Those swallow's are extremely difficult to capture...you've done a great job here.

Hard to pass up a good owl pic, but I think I like #4 the best. I can't even imagine capturing a swallow in flight.

Blimen heck Jim ..... what a series !!! All superb.

Particularly impressed with the Swallow shots. We only have one Swallow here in N.Z. (the Welcome) and they are smaller than a House Sparrow. I've tried many times for a decent IF shot but havn't really come close. How big are your Tree Swallows and what lens was used ??

Wow Jim...these are all fantastic shots. If I had to pick a favorite it sure would be hard to do, they're all great.

I was waiting for a post like this to tip me over the edge on ordering a MK IV.

I'm goin over like Niagara Falls in a barrel!

Your website photos are impresive too!

Your photos are possibly the most impressive I've seen on any camera.
