I was over at the shore last week and, caught this skimmer flying by. He was moving at breakfast speed... had I pulled the trigger without shaking the came a tad, it might have come out sharper!

Enjoy, comment, critique all you like :-)16637114-M.jpg

    That is really cool! I don't see the shaking, but I bet you were excited. I have a bunch of them standing into the wind one day, but none in flight. I do have one from last summer do the skimmer thing, but that was so long ago.

    Great shot.

    Hiya Mark,

    Good seeing you again. wave.gif I am so jealous. I tried to get a skimmer shot two weeks ago and they wouldn't get close enough. :cry Good shot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
