Barn swallow on a wire
This one was sitting and watching me crawling to get to proper position of capturing. Flickr version: Canon 6D, Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6, at 300mm, ISO320, 1/400, f7.1 The barn swallow is a bird of open country which normally uses man-made structures to breed and consequently has spread with human expansion. It builds a cup nest from mud pellets in barns or similar structures and feeds on insects caught in flight. This species lives in close association with humans, and its insect-eating habits mean that it is tolerated by man; this acceptance was reinforced in the past by superstitions regarding the bird and its nest. There are frequent cultural references to the barn swallow in literary and religious works due to both its living in close proximity to humans and its annual migration.

Whitebox test with bananas
Have started my exercises on Whitebox with bananas. This is only test ones. However the lighting seem sufficient. Canon 6D with Canon 50mm f1.4 at f20, 1/160, ISO 100 Light: 4 Flashes, 1 Youngnuo, 3 Noname.
