While visiting family in Buffalo, NY, I had the opportunity to visit a farm where people go to pick strawberries. It was there that I found some\u00a0Barn Swallows. They had built a nest under the roof of one of the carts used as a cashier stand. The mother kept flying in and out in order to bring the little ones\u00a0food. I stood there for a while trying to capture the three chicks with their mouth open. Things were happening quite fast so I boosted the ISO and the shutter speed in order to capture the moment. I had to select a wide aperture in order to capture the event. I knew I would sacrifice some depth of field as a result.<\/p>\n

Barn Swallows<\/a> are one of the most familiar birds, especially in rural areas and open country. These birds seem to have adopted humans as their neighbors. They typically place their nests in barns, garages, under bridges and other manmade structures.<\/p>\n
