Hi Peter - congrats on getting one BIF with meal.
These guys are fast and tricky - really gotta get that eye to be visible - catchlight is even better - tough though!!
Like the wing position and HA looks good.
Looks like it might have a colour cast on my screen.
Practice, Practice Practice.

That is quite the mouthful.
Nice job of tracking the bird.

lance nailed it again for me. the eye was the main issue and the bird was a little bit passed you. congrats on getting it with the meal. they are fast, but lots of fun!!

Thanks all, yeah i know its not he best in the world, this was a relative crop and out of about 9 shots in the sequence this was the only one that was close to sharp, my god i cant believe how these things turn on a dime!!

was certainly a challenge!

but overall very pleased to have caught my first BIF with a meal, even if it is a tern and not an osprey :p

[Harold Davis]

[Harold Davis]
