Heads Down on the River Lee

Two swans were feeding at the edge of the Lee Fields when I stopped. Both had their necks down in the shallows, working the seeds and crumbs in the same posture a second or two apart. It was exceptionally bright so I exposed for the highlights and everything else...

Two mute swans dipping their heads into dark river water at a gravel shoreline, necks curved down and beaks just breaking the surface, white plumage lit brightly against the shadowed water, with a yellow ring on the leg of the bird on the right.

@donncha@mastodon.ie Nice.

White birds are always a challenge to shoot in the sunlight. You made the right choice. You could also try a polarizing filter. :)
