I happened to watch a short film made in 1968 on a channel called London Live today. It was called "Swan Corner" and was filmed on a summer day in West Wickham. It is of footage of people going about their everyday business, accompanied by music. I loved it and am pleased that someone had the foresight to make such films as it is so interesting to see how almost everything has changed. One thing I noticed that hasn't is the street cleaner's trolley which was pretty much the same as today.
It led me to look for more films and I found this amazing site. London's Screen Archives
I haven't even started to explore it yet but it looks good. Just thought I would share my discoveries in case they are new to you too!
Here is a blurry action shot of one taking off. Swans landing and taking off from water are most impressive. And saying that makes me wonder if they ever land on land?!Quick edit-"Swan Corner" is on the film archives site.

Excellent capture of the swan taking off. I don't think I've seen a white swan here, maybe I just don't remember. We have black ones on our Torrens River.
Since swan is my namesake, I am excited when I see a swan in action! In our local river, we have two swans who swim together and it's a treat to see.
"Swan Corner" looks interesting. I only watched about five minutes' worth but I'll go back to it later. I wonder who filmed it? It probably says at the end.
Wonderful accomplishments. Wish my hit and miss borders looked so goo. I think my problem is that usually (for me) it is a way to get rid of left over strips so mine looks messy. Yours has a rhythm and consistency which mine never has. Will save a copy of yours as a GOOD example of what hit and miss should look like.
