Description

Black skimmers flying very fast, still don't know why they do this. I've taken hundreds of shots like these over the years. I figure it's a good slow shutter capture if I can clearly see their eyes and detail on their wings. A lot of the editing in these type of shots is cloning out the image sensor dust spots in the image. Shutter priority 1/60th, ISO 50...

Exif: F Number: 14, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 50, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
