This is another image from my ongoing work with one of the UK’s most familiar, yet overlooked species, the mute swan. The second heaviest flying bird in the world the mute swan is a common sight on the waterways, lakes and rivers of the UK. I can only guess that it is this familiarity that is the reason why it is so often overlooked by other photographers as it is such a stunningly beautiful bird with a fascinating and dramatic range of behaviours. Wherever possible I will seek to utilise the very best light that I can and here I have a used a technique called backlighting to enhance the detail of the swan as it glides across a lake in full threat posture. With the sun setting behind the bird it creates a beautiful halo of light around the bird’s outline, the blackness of the backdrop is caused a distant forest that is completely in shadow. By simply exposing for the bright, sunlit whites of the swan the shadowed backdrop falls deeper into underexposure and the dramatic contrast between light and dark is enhanced. And that’s your photographic tip for the day!
