Royal Tern

[David Salem]

Hi Everyone. Havent posted in a few weeks due to a trip of a life time to Egypt. I will post some bird pics from my trip soon.

Posted one of this Tern earlier with wings down. Heres the next frame. Bringing back a sardine to nest. Wish the fish were turned the other way.

Thanks as always for looking and your input.

Thanks Arash. Still trying to figure out how much sharpening to use for the web. Get some suggestions to sharpening on all pics for the web but Im finding that not to be the case. Each pic is unique. Maybe preview a few times before I post. Thanks again.

Hi David, well exposed, and terns arent the easiest to capture in flight, so you have done well. He seems pleased with his next meal.

With regards to sharpening, each image on its own. Over time you will get a feel on your basic settings, and of course, the preview button will show you what you are achieving.

Thanks Varnum for the complement.

Thanks Stuart for the input and the help. Always appreciated.
