Head on Tern

[bfjr]

To this day no tern BIFs with eyes, and certainly no head ons. Here a couple that come close (I think :dunno). I think for me to be pleased, it may have to wait for gear upgrade, but no harm in trying and sharing, right :D

Well then let's bring you up to speed :D
In about a month, fingers crossed & toes crossed

My list with the help of fellow Dgriners goes like this:
D2Hs
200 - 400 F4 VR
SB800
better beamer
a proper tripod/head combo

Check your Pm Ben

Ben, good head on shots, great ones, as far as what I have ever gotten.

The sky bothers me. I had a sky like that with something, this weekend, or last, very recently, don't know what i did with it, but I did something.

Can you do something with the sky? Maybe it was my boat landscape, I did go warmer with that, the sky was just like yours, when I went warmer, the sky went to what it would have been at that time of day.

Doing that shifted my boat colors, too. I left it at that as I found it pleasing.

Just commenting.

Your bird shots are wonderful.

What did the PM say?

I have probably blocked out the new equipment thing, but what are you getting? I assume that it is Nikon and I wouldn't understand anyway.

Somehow I do understand "500mm" from our esteemed colleague. I know, don't think, you are joining him...........well, I will find out.

You and Jeff are doing great, it is the Jeffs, isn't it?
