Least Tern in flight
Ok folks, I'm new here and this is my first attempt to upload an image. Art told me of this forum earlier this week (I had been unaware of it). It's a least tern that I shot in May 2006 on the beach near Matanzas inlet, south of St. Augustine. Captured with MkIIN and 100-400L IS lens at 250mm, 1/1250 at f8, ISO 400, partial metering, +1 EV.
Big Welcome Tim !!!!
Classic tern image Sharp well exposed and excellent wing position I like the light showing through the feathers If anything would take a bit of the bottom and bow up the eye to work and make more visible !!! I like it a lot !!!! Big Congrats !!!!

An excellent start I would say. Very nice image.

Hi Tim and welcome to BPN.
Love the composition, light and exposure. The wins look like they are glowing!!
BTW,
I know you are very familiar with Alligator Farm. Do you know the activity now?? :)
A very fine first post. I might consider taking a bit off the bottom and adding it to the top?
Welcome :)
Welcome Tim - What a great image to kick off with!! Loads of impact here, and I just love that lighting.
Hi Maxis, and thanks for your comment.Originally Posted by Maxis Gamez
As a matter of fact, I was wondering the very same thing about the alligator farm so I drove down yesterday to check it out. I found that it's still very quiet. There were probably a few dozen night herons, including a few juvies. And I counted 8 spoonbills, all roosing in the same area toward the big oak tree. There was a green heron fishing near the pond, and a handful of white ibis and two great blues roosting in the big oak tree and/or around it. I only saw a couple wood storks. It looks like it will be a little while before there's any good activity there.
Tim
