Sandwich Tern, Honeymoon Island State Park, FL
Image copyright 2003 Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART It was gray this morning. I was photographing seaweed patterns on rocks when a cast-netting fisherman caught a big load of bait. Many fish spilled into the shallow water and onto the rocks. The Laughing Gulls came quickly, and I was amazed to see that they were joined by many Sandwich Terns. In my 27 years of birding, I had never seen a single tern respond to anything other than free-swimming baitfish. I dialed in lots of + compensation and began making images. Canon 1Ds and 28-135mm lens at 135mm (the "big gun" setting). ISO 400. Evaluative metering + 1 2/3 stops: 1/800 at f/5.6. All comments welcome. Best and great picture making to all, Artie ps: I did get me feet very wet... Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART
