Aha! Tricks of the trade. Have to go reexamine my Tern archives now.
Thanks

They are difficult when it comes to showing their eye as well as a catchlite in it.
I suspect many people just photoshop catchlights in.
If an image is sharp and the bird is not too distant, then there may be a catchlight captured, just that it is very tiny. If one enlarges the image to 100% crop, then it might become visible.
See an example below:
(1) The original SOOC shot.
(2) About 100% crop (the catchlight is there, but only 1-2 pixels of it)
(3) A crop which I might post process just a little bit and then present.....the catchlight is visible just barely enough, and it doesn't need any enlargements in photoshop....Show more →

Hi,
Some teaser shots from the last day of the Tall Ships in Newport, RI. My ride today was aboard a friends 48 footer, so we had a pretty clear passage wherever we wanted to go... I will be aboard the Privateer catamaran (52 ft), as part of the Parade of Sails, which should be a blast with 18 tall ships under full sail around us.

No kidding about that......in fact, based on what I gather, a fair number of 800L owners use their lens handheld with varying frequency and duration. Besides, I couldn't shoot a smallish Common tern or a similar bird in flight off a pod, and I'd like to hear from someone who can. (Please no lucky shots. ). It's hard enough doing it with 800L handheld.
