Wing-blur attempt with Tundra Swans - a photo on Flickriver

Wing-blur attempt with Tundra Swans

            I knew conditions weren't great for traditional shots, so I attempted to experiment with wing-blur for swans moving from day feeding habitats to safer night lakes. My best results with my 200-500mm on my Nikon Z6ii came with 1/125s and when the swans were relatively close. Any slower speeds gave me atrocious blur and any faster seemed to stop their wings.
