This cool morning, a flock of Rough-winged Swallows coursed back and forth
across my pond. Due to the dry spell, a mud flat has appeared at one spot. I
thought that if I focused on the mud flat, I might catch a swallow in flight as
it passed over. I had no luck at first. When a swallow appeared in the frame it
would be gone before I snapped the shutter. Then it occurred to me not to look
directly at my camera screen, but to look beyond at the mud flat while holding
the camera pointed at the mud flat. As I saw a swallow approaching the mud
flat, I would click as it passed over the mud flat without looking at my
screen. Got several shots that way. None very good, but I might get some better
ones with practice. I posted the best one I got this morning here -
