Caspian Tern in flight

[Kerry Perkins]

A simple little image, but something about it compels me to post it. Maybe it's the eye contact, dunno... :o

Captured at the Salton Sea. The usual harsh lighting conditions there at mid-day.

50D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4x @ 280mm
Manual exposure, f/5.6@1/1600, ISO 200
AI Servo autofocus, HH no flash

HI Kerry - love that wingspan pose along with the eye contact - good job :)

The colours look alittle off to me -- I am only basing this on the guys we get out here, seems like the blacks arent black enough and the red of the beak is destaurated a little too much. Or maybe it was just from the harsh light.

Keep them coming :)
