Congratulations Jim Fenton
Tern Into Dunes
One of my objectives this particular morning was to create images of terns coming back into their nesting sites in the grassy area of the dunes.
There was a sustained 25 MPH south breeze however and what the terns were doing was hovering high above the dunes and then dropping straight in.
Finally, I found one individual who on several returns to this nest came in low between my position and the grass, allowing for the type of image creation which I had envisioned.
Nikon D300, 500 VR, F5.6, ISO 640, 1/1250, UniWB, CW metering at +.7, flash with BB at -2.3 EV
