The Catch

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Another Forster's Tern from Brigantine. There was so much activity between the Common and Forster's Terns, you had to keep an eye on the incoming, hovering, diving, or pre focus on a spot in the vicinity of the more frequent dives and hope for the best. C&C welcome.

D700, Nikon 500mm + 1.4x, 1/2500, f 7.1, ISO 1250, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.

This is an excellent action shot caught at the perfect moment.Great looking whites and love all the water movement.
Well done,Gail

This type of action happens so fast and is not easy to execute. You did superbly and the fish is even facing toward us. Super image.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice dynamic image.

Well done, Geoffrey. When I focus on the hovering bird and then he dives, he immediately drops out of the bottom of the viewfinder, impossible to track. Your technique of anticipation and pre-focus worked nicely. And he got a fish, facing the right way.

Excellent action shot! Great job with the tracking! Love the action, exposure and HA. Well done.
