Terns, Gulls, and Egrets at Prime Hook

A little morning wildlife outing. The light was not good with heavy clouds moving in but I managed a few good shots.

1) Forster's Terns hunting for food.

Beatiful shots with the inclement weather David. Sometimes dull light gives excellent results. And, it's good for editing in a blue sky

Thanks Isac.

You did well to catch them with such quality. The poor light probably helps with getting a good exposure.

[David_MC]

Thank you Hans.

Very nice series given the challenging light. No 4 just takes it for me.

[David_MC]

Thank you very much.

All excellent images David, and I think the clouds make a better background than a blue sky. The clouds also give a lovely soft light.

Just to upset the apple-cart, I might have changed the sky on these quality photos of the birdies, but the dull background detracts from the overall photo......imho
