Bad Hair Day

I learned while photographing these swans yesterday that my telephoto lens is not, shall I say, a top of the line lens. I mean I knew that already but I normally don't take a lot of pictures of moving things with this lens, or at all really. I also don't usually shoot a lot of photos of the same thing without moving myself or my camera very much. Anyway, it took forever to focus and was too loud. But patience paid off and after being squaked at twice, we found a common ground where the swans could go about their business while I observed and recorded their movements.
