By the way, this was with my trusty 18-55 kit lens. A very underrated lens.

Re: Swan on the peck

Nice shot, you did well to get the focus spot on with the swan bearing down on you like that.

Re: Swan on the peck

I think I was fairly wide on aperture at that point, not too sure if I was aware of that though ;)
