Here\'s three straightforward TIF shots with a few common traits:
*1DsMkII + 400 f/5.6,
* Major enlargement crop,
* Birds in a high speed cruise mode.
(In fact, whenever you see a fast bird (a tern, a swallow) with its tail fanned out, that means the bird is banking, stalling or changing flight direction at which time their ground speed might become quite low.......that\'s when their photography becomes relatively easy.
As a general rule, whenever terns take fish to their young, the flight is a powerful and fast beeline. One reason for that is to evade feathery \"skyway\" robbers on the way to her nest, such as seagulls who might attempt to steal her fish.)
