Tough subjects…

A couple of weekends ago I decided to give the Little Lady some “me time” so packed up the kids and headed to Speyer, a city I have come to love. We walked down to the Rhine and found folks feeding a passel of swans.IMG_5226 (683x1024) IMG_5152 (1024x682)Turns out these fabulous fowl are tricky photographic subjects: the contrast of their bright white feathers against the dark water makes getting a good exposure a bit tricky.
