Late Arrivals. Tundra Swan.

Migrating Tundra Swans don't follow the clock. They fly day and night. To capture a scene like this on a December evening in the North Carolina tidelands, in focus at all distances, would require a wide lens, plenty of skill using it and a bunch of luck. Piecing it together as silhouettes from footage shot in the daytime was comparatively easy. Digital painting from video of swans, photos of tree and moon.
