Fleeing fowls: Swans, set two

Fleeing fowls: Swan

Second group of pictures of the swans escaping the parkies adding a chemical to treat the water in West Park lake.

The lens I used for all of these fleeing fowls posts doesn’t do autofocus. I had to use a technique called pre-focusing – it was about the only way to get clear pictures of moving subjects when us oldies started to use cameras.

If I did have autofocus and used it, I would have had to throw away several goes as focused wrongly. With the old-fashioned method (and years of practice using it) I didn’t miss a shot.
