Caspian Tern

[Bill Dix]

I just love watching terns in flight. A handful of Caspian Terns was putting on a nice show at the Cape May Point State Park on Friday evening just before sunset. This is just one of many, many frames. 87% of full width. Added slivver of canvas on the bottom, and cloned out a leg band. NR on BG, and a touch of Topaz Detail on the bird. C&C always appreciated.

D7000, 700mm, ISO 1000, 1/2500s @ f/7.1 manual, Gitzo and Mongoose.

Nice flight pose and great light throughout the underwing on this one. Nice a sharp too.

I like the dynamic pose, slightly open beak and light. BG is nice too. well done. I may define the catchlight just a bit better

Hi Bill, love the light, and I do like the angled flight pose. Underwing detail looks good, as does the overall exposure.

Great shot, Bill. Love the shooting angle, and wing position. The light is beautiful.
