Crested Tern In Flight

While out bird watching the other day, I managed to capture a series of images of the Greater Crested Tern coming in to land. The images are the Jpeg straight out of the camera and little editing.

This kind of action would look  great on tripod set steady camera, meaning steady background.

Thanks Alex.

Unfortunately that is not possible with my level of skills and equipment. This was taken with 200 - 600 mm lens and 2x extender. The birds flight is random and unpredictable. The intial images were taken at the 600 mm end and the later ones at the 200 mm end. I do use a monopod but a tripod would be to restrictive and not effective due to the random flight path of the bird. Happy that I got so many shots in sequence and sharp thanks to the camera technology which is really hard to do.

Of course you right.  I'm talking about ideal situation. Considering that length  you're lucky enough to get that sequence at all.

Nothing special to see that on video but might be very impressive if you got clean  sequence of shoots.
