Swans

Well its a fairly murky day - a lovely typically autumnal day - and I was wandering about as usual at lunch time, wondering what to photo for blip.

I was taking my usual shots of static things with my shutter speed low - as static things do not move, when I heard a commotion on the canal and saw these two swans lumberingly taking off.

With camera in hand, I snapped the event, but unfortunately because I forgot to change the settings, everything came out a bit blurred.

I have messed about with it, with a bit of success, using the limited Picasa, but because it is unlikely that I will catch any swans taking off for some time, if ever, I am going to post it anyway.
