In order to participate in a photo contest “Polish nature” I woke up on Sunday at 6 in the morning to shoot some swans. I couldn’t find anything really interesting around me and swans are always looking good. I decided to try making a strobist photo, with very strong flashes from short distance. I went to Vistula river, near Wawel castle and found a nice place where I could throw bread pieces on ground. Soon a couple of young, gray swans came, but they didn’t look very well. Finally some adult swans swam to me and I started to shoot for next half an hour. It took 10-15 seconds for my flashes to recover after each shot but all went good and I made few photos that look very nice.
