My Skimmer Attempt

[Ken Lassman]

After seeing all the posts I had to try to capture one.....they are fast. Really tough getting eye contact but great fun watching them. Did not get one actually skimming the water...but I will (on my wish list now)

Ken, agree with Don's comments. Good light and nicely positioned in the frame.

Great EXP control, Ken. Your assignment for the next one is to get the wings fully stretched, up or down :)

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Ken As Fabs says ... need the wings all up/down :) The in between just looks strange !! btw to get the skimming shots just wait till they start feeding the chicks, lots of opportunities !!

[Lance Peters]

Hi ken - exposure looks good - good job, tough birds for sure. Nailed the eye!!
Agree with the comments about the wing position.
Looking forward to the next one.

TFS,

Thanks for the (homework) assignment Fabs....everyone referring to the "assignment" put a smiley face in...as in "good luck" ...they definitely are a challenge....but I will get it
