A 26-second photo session with Forster's

A sequential feeding action shots of a Forster's Tern. He came out

with empty-mouthed. Comments welcome.

A wonderful series of pictures, Jerry. Fantastic camera work to be able to follow him this well.

 

The title really made me laugh!

Thanks for stopping by. I've been practicing shooting birds in flight and though it might be a good idea to put all sequential shots togather instead of posting them one by one. Glad to know that you like the title and hope it will not offend anybody here on PN. For me these are truly photo sessions and there is definitely no pre-shot staging arrangements possibilities. You know, 26- second is not a very long time and you have to pan your camera vertically and then horizontally to catch up such speedy bird. Still got a couple of blurry ones though.

Jerry you know how to torment those on dial up , as I am , I could have done a load of laundry , or made pop corn to enjoy the movie ! I guess we will be seeing more of these clips ? Enjoyed it ! Robert :)

Thought I am on broadband, it still took me quite a while to finish downloading the full series. But patience pays. Excellent series, Jerry. My favorite is the 5th & 6th picture.

Thank God for DSL...Nice series! I love seeing the bird in action!

Until the photo had loaded I've aged a little, but....... the photo series is amazing!! Keep the good work!

This is one of the most amazing bird images I have seen... very very nice... I actually came to your page to see images of SF area...my old stomping grounds...and found this beauty....wow....excellent timing..

It took me an hour to download to critique. Worth every second. Just remarkable. Congrats.

So, there was no fish at the end after all that flapping :)

I did expect him catching something as I was scrolling down.

 

Very nice work Jerry!

Not easy to do - especially for that length of time. Great work!

WOW! Such incredible work, both bird and photographer. I'm thrilled to see these images as I watched this very thing live this summer, and it's so neat to see it on "film". Thanks.

What a BEAUTIFUL collection of Terns in flight in multiple positions with great compositions, lighting, details and sharpness. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing :)
