    Default Crested Tern

    This tern was taking a break from fishing on Lake Macquarie in strong winds and a dust storm. The immediate bg is not sand but water reflecting a dust-choked sky. Over 5 million tons of topsoil from the arid centre has blown west to east and out into the ocean in a couple of days. Dirtied a lot of cars, washing, lungs....along the way!



    50D, 100-400 @ 400, 1/500, f8, +.67ev, iso400, 430EXII -.67, HH lying flat on my belly.

    Lovely image Colin - well exposed with good detail in the whites and black. Also like the low perspective. I think I can see a hint of flash-induced steel-eye.

    Thanks Simon, I suspected I had overdone the eye! These birds have such black eyes that it is hard to show them well so I dodged it- probably a little too much. At least that is fixable.

    Nice one Colin. In a perfect world you wouldn't have the diagonal shoreline above the head (directly i.e.) and the three OOF white blobs - one in front of breast, one above bill and last one above the head. I hope you were not laying on those molluscs. That would have hurt. On a positive note, the pose is super as is sharpness. good work. :)

    Nice shot, exposure is good, I would sharpen a bit more due to flat light and leave a bit more space on the front.
