I Hope Your Weekend Doesn’t Bite

Biting Swan at Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) - Lucerne, Switzerland

About this photo….

This feisty swan came in for a taste of my camera. He eventually got my lens. No harm no fowl. Pun intended LOL. Photographing animals with a fish-eye lens is always an adventure. The focal distance is so short the subject can be with in inches of the lens and still be in focus. I was aiming for more majestic images and got some during better lighting conditions, but this photo just makes me laugh. Have a great weekend!

Photo Details:
Canon 1Ds Mark III, 15mm fisheye, ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/400 sec

    Ha! I avoid swans. I have childhood memories of being attacked by one.

    Pretty birds, but nasty tempers.

    Great shot, tho. I’m afraid that I don’t have the nerve to get that close. ;)

    LOL at the picture but even more so at you letting the inner geek loose on that pun :)
