About the Image(s)
How I did it—PSA friends and I were photographing on Anna Marie Island about 1 hr. South of me about 4 yrs. ago. The beach presented us with us with nesting Black Skimmers, Royal and Least Terns. These birds often take off together, fly a 360 degree flight pattern, then return to their take off area. I happened to be positioned perfectly to capture one of the take offs. Tools of the day were my trusty Canon 7D and Canon 100-400 IS f 4.5-5.6 lens, hand held. My settings were 400 ISO, f 8 @ 1500th of a second at 160 mm. I love the contrast of the Black Skimmers and the lighter Royal Terns, including the water and beautiful sky.

This is just like a painting the colour palette is gorgeous the birds are striking they add a dash of colour to a beautiful background the near most birds are so sharp I feel I could almost touch them this deserves to do so so well for you this group is blessed with some very very talented wildlife photographers and for me this image is right up there with the best we have been lucky enough to enjoy.   Posted: 01/19/2020 14:59:05
