2015 - Image of the Week #25

Not sure why but I have been having some issues with trying to add an image from the same shoot when editing the earlier post.
So here goes with image two. In case anyone is curious both were shot in shady spots bouncing in the evening light with a reflector.

As this week's judge, I can't believe the challenge all of you have thrown my way. The entries have been utterly insane. Joel's "Blue Bullet" is going to have to get the nod from me... I am still stunned at how a shot like that is even possible. It's a testimony to his skill, patience, vision, and determination. Congrats Joel, and thanks everyone for entering and for giving me another huge dose of inspiration.

He did mention something about an hour and a half spent there. No mention of how many 'culls' were made.
Fine job Joel! Congrats!

I don't know much about birds, but I remember that the barn swallows from my boyhood were FAST! Amazing to get that shot. Wonderful variety of posts, too. Congratulations to Joel.

Thanks Jonathan and everyone!

I didn't count the non-keepers but probably a few hundred. After the first 30 minutes I wasn't sure I would even get one image but finally got a good one by sticking it out for another hour or so.

Congrats Joel! Definitely a challenge you complete very well. Those guys are fast.
