CommentA painful photograph- I'm still suffering! A good flock of needletails were foraging along a mangrove-lined creek. I was able to stand on a bridge (little used) and attempt photos as they flew upstream. I assume the same group were circling around and coming back over me again and again but it gave me lots of opportunities. f8 wasnt needed for this shot, but I was trying to get an image with multiple needletails in the one frame and sharpish.
