Common_tern_IMG_0816

A common tern trills and caws on a boardwalk handrail on a pier sitcking out in the bay at the Wetlands Institute. The curvilinear design of a classic beach cruiser against a shiplap shed completes the frame. While I was almost always locked at 600mm, being able to quickly zoom back and frame this composition like this is a great advantage of the high-zoom ratio telephoto lens! 338mm 1/1600 F6.3 ISO 800.
