photographing water

Back in early May, I stopped to check Blenheim Sewage Lagoons... The conditions made me consider breaking out the camera gear, and I managed to take a few hundred photos of the pond water there. 

Very rarely, if I was lucky, I could get an out-of-focus Swallow (like this Tree Swallow) inside the frame

And 800 photos later, I had a few flight shots:

And even one of these things! (Barn Swallow, coming to a "Threatened-Listing" near you soon!)

Cool and cloudy doesn't usually mean flight shots, but the high-ISO capabilities of my camera made these shots possible.
