Common Tern 2

Another shot of a Common Tern skimming water, really enjoyed this early morning session with the Terns, although hand holding 16lb of lens and camera wasn't fun...

Thanks for looking.

I much prefer this to your earlier shot Anthony. The positioning of the bird gives more of a sense of anticipation.

Hi Tony,

Another good one, even more so considering the combination was handheld.

lovely shot and timing, may be my eyes but is it on a slant?

I prefer this one too Tony - just up from the water suits the shot better than tucked in.

It looks on a slant because of the ripple lines running 2 o' clock to 7 o' clock on the water I think - the broken line of water is level I'm sure.

A good morning it seems.

Thanks everyone... Difficult to get the comp right with these sorts of shots, as Mark has pointed out with the ripples... Might need a tad of CCW rotation I think....

Thanks for the input, much appreciated...

Tony

This one for me too Tony (not that the previous shot was bad of course), it has a nicer 'rhythm' to it. Well processed too.

Cheers,
Chris

This is the one it shows good movement and contol of flight

Impressive shot and such rich beautiful colours.

I've lost count the number of times I've tried to get a shot like this. Nice one. Very jealous.
