I used a canoe to get near these Chlidonias hybridus at Lake Palakpakin (Philippines). It was tough to get them in flight because my panning movement is limited to a maximum of 90 degree arc (I'm scared to tip over the boat with aggressive movement, my 1DM2 + 400 5.6L can't swim).... :wink:

1DM2 + 400 5.6, 1/1600 sec, ISO 400, f/8, manual exposure, hand held

Fantastic flight shot! Terns are mighty fast, good job grabbing this one, and I know what you mean about upsetting the canoe!

Amazing shot of a gorgeous tern. And look at that background! Hand-held, on a boat AND manual focus?? My hat's off to you!

Thanks, everybody.....:D

It was manually exposed (M mode), but I took advantage of the 1DM2's superb AI servo AF....;)
