Common Tern approaching nest

[Bill Dix]

Several rainy days have had me looking through old images, and finding a bunch that I never posted for one reason or another. In this case, the light was so poor at Nickerson Beach the day we visited last August that the high ISO compromised the IQ. But I still liked the environment and flight position of this one, so thought I'd share it.

D7000, 500f4, ISO 3200, 1/1600 @ f/6.3 manual, tripod

Nice environment shot, Bill.
You get amazing results with the D7000 at high Iso.
Great PP work.

Reminds me of days to come, soon I hope. TFS.

I like the greens and the diagonal line created by the grasses.
Wish for a bit more head turn,

Very nice job on the whites. Beautiful pose!

[Diane Miller]

I never would have guessed that this was high ISO -- a very delicately rendered image.

[Jon Swanson]

Bill...I really like this shot! The environment really helps it along as well.

[Bill Dix]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback.

[Grace Scalzo]

This has a light and airy feel and I really like it. You made good work with poor conditions.

[Bill Dix]

Thanks Grace. I just wished for some detail in the whites, but you get what you can get. Looking forward to trying again this year.
