This young Sandwich Tern was photographed with the handheld 400mm f/4 DO IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-40D while I was laying in the sand getting my elbows raw. Flash mounted on camera; fill flash at -1 stop. ISO 400. Evaluative Metering + 1 1/3 stops: 1/200 sec. at f/10. (I was working wide open but when the bird began to stretch I quickly went to f/10.) One-shot AF on the eye and re-compose.
Don't be shy. All comments welcome.
ps: DeSoto was rocking on Tuesday morning.
