Hello everyone

Thank you to all those who commented and voted on my last upload and a special thank you to Richard (Doghouse) for his award!

I’m continuing with my series from our visit to the Farne Islands…
These are two images of Arctic Terns, V1 sitting on its nest and V2 in attack mode, LOL.

Do hope you like them! Large may be worth a look if you have time....
Gill

Two fantastic images Gill, I have seen the histogram so can vouch for the fact the exposure is spot on with V1, just a pity the head is a bit dark for the eye on V2. Still for a first attempt at flight shot it is great.

Both superb images, Gill. V.2 is worthy of an upload in its own right. Carol

Hey Gill in flight shots now!! - very impressed - the detail is stunning - V1 is beautifully exposed and you've managed to get a catchlight in the eye wich is difficult with these birds - well done mate - Ina

A pair of wonderful images Gill, it must be Tern day today.
Makes my flight shot look so amateur.
Brilliantly exposed and captured
Richard

Beautiful well timed shot, V2. Excellent inflight, great sharp detail and lovely colour. I like V1 as well but V2 has the edge for me. Superb captures.

Two very fine shots of the Terns Gilly. You have been kind to show these pleasant shots considering how aggresive the Terns are to visitors. Dive bonbers par excellence !!!

V2 is a brilliant capture of a in flight shot
Its very difficult to get the exposure spot on with a B & W subject, you have got it right for the whites but not for the blacks
Well done on your first attempt
