Arctic Tern

[William Dickson]

Canon 1DX
f/4 500mm
f/5.6
1/2500
ISO 1600

The BG on this image is the sea spray and mist, as per my last Arctic Tern image. I managed to get a better HA on this one.

That'll do for me Will. Maybe a teeny teeny bit mote "guts " wouild be good but no biggie. Maybe my specs are dirty.
Very nice

Yes, now that is a pose to love! I also like the vertical composition. The pale BG works well. A bit of subtle noise can be taken care of, but this is certainly a fine tern image.

[arash_hazeghi]

now this is a good tern image William. MUCH better than the other one. agree with Dan re noise but excellent image otherwise

[Jonathan Ashton]

That's a beauty Will - keep them coming!
(Just a little surprised at the noise - was it slightly underexposed?)

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Will, agree on the above, seems things are really going great guns now, the 1DX is delivering and no worries about SS & ISO. I think you could have upped things to 1/3200 without too much ISO gain.

Like the pose in the frame, details and light. Great shot & photo. TFS.

[Bob Smith]

Very lovely the way the Vs of the tail and wings come together here Will and presented in a quite magical background.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Will, well you certainly nailed this inflight pose, and very well captured, as these guys are quick. Love the curvature of the tail.

[Bill Dix]

Beautifully captured. Love the head nicely framed by the wings; the fanned tail; and the lovely bg.

[Mike Poole]

Beautiful pose Will, the wings and tail are just about perfect.

Much better is right. I really like the pose and HA on this one and the comp suits the pose well. Looks great Will. I would love to see you get fortunate enough to get some sunshine on these guys. It creates so much more color and detail. You will have to make a trip out to the states if your crummy weather keeps up Well done

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Stunningly arresting, William. Beautiful curves in the tail, banking wing position, and good detail in the blacks. Could not have asked for a better BG. Well done.

Anytime William. Many BPNers have come out to see me over the years. I'm right next to Disneyland also so you can make a nice holiday out of it and get some great shooting in
