p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Black Tern | Wide Angle


Hi everyone,

I recently returned from a week long photography trip to a remote lake in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia. Much of my time was spent photographing a colony of Black Terns. On the final evening, a breaking storm revealed a long-awaited brilliant sunset. A Caddisfly hatch had the terns working well into twilight; capturing the airborne insects for their hungry nestlings.

Canon 5DM3 | Canon 17-40mm f/4 | 1/200th | f/11 | ISO 1000 | Canon 580ex Speedlite with Diffuser Cap | Rear Curtain Sync Mode

* Single raw file with slight crop/straightening and minor adjustments to colour and contrast*

Best wishes,

Welcome back Jess. This is a beauty Jess. The shadow on the sky is probably caused by your flash sync setting. Many like to make that shadow a trailing shadow.

I love most of your photos, but this one does not work for me. It looks too unnatural to have a subject that is being backlit with all that light on the shadow side. Looks too much like a "cut & paste" with this lighting and DOF. JMO
