My title refers to the fact that when out in the field taking your pictures you should not check your photo;s other than the histogram for exposure. My bad habit was and sometimes still is to find a shaded place and check what I have captured through the rear screen. This is a bad habit for two reasons, the screen burns your battery power and you miss shots, chck them when you get home.
The following images are again taken on our heath and moorland. I spent some time trying to capture a flight shot of a Swallow drinking on the wing, but with no preparation I had little success. The Swallows also seem to just plummet into the water rather than skim. I guess it was Swallow bathing or cooling rather than drinking. Please click on the image to enlarge
