Dad & Mom & Baby Swans

Uploaded: June 16, 2012

Description

This is a follow up picture to my earlier one of the mother swan checking her eggs. I took this on June 5, 2012, while on my lunch hour which was very sunny day.

I cropped the photo in Photoshop 7, adjusted my brightness and contrast and then sharpened. I really like the looks on their faces as they were swimming right at me while the other little ones were off to the other side.

I took this with my Nikon D70s with the 55-300mm VR lens at 120mm, focus mode AF-S, AF area mode single, aperture F/8, 1/1000s, ISO 320, aperture priority, exposure compensation +0.7EV, and metering spot.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
