Elegant Tern Fish Flip

[Tim Foltz]

Canon 1DX • 700 mm • 1/4000 • f/7.1 • ISO 500 • handheld • manual

It's always fun and a challenge to get a tern flipping a fish before swallowing, it's a matter of timing, guesswork and luck.


Thanks for looking.

pretty cool and tough shot Tim, I yet have to get one of these in Bolsa.

Well done. You are correct in telling us the story of how difficult it is to get this behavior on camera. I have yet to get this shot despite lots of trying!

Very cool. I like the swooping downward wings. And the fish, of course! Personally I find the blues a bit strong. Awesome image.

Terrific, I would like to see this with less blue and a bit brighter. Sweet skill, timing, and a flip!

Hi Tim, excellent timing and love the curved wings.
