Swift by name and by nature

[Mousetoescamper]

4. The setting is "continuous shooting" which I always use when shooting fast-moving subjects.

The difficulty is in getting manually-focused shots of subjects that quickly dart in and out of the frame. Most birds fly more-or-less in a straight line. Chimney swifts perform aerial acrobatics and quickly change direction to scoop up insects in midair. They're among the fastest birds on the planet and photographing them is made even more difficult by their flying high in the sky.

Thanks!
