A headless Tern

[Romy Ocon]

The nice thing about using a very fast shutter speed is it can freeze motion and show details that can't be discerned by the naked eye when watching the action live.

Hahahaha. Shocking Title Ka Mastah!! I totally agree with you - the faster shutter speeds and more FPS can freeze motions that we otherwise miss with our bare eyes. Gorgeous lighting and super details make the photo even more captivating :-)

Thanks, Ka Bobby. We're supposed to focus on the eyes, but since the head is nowhere to be found, I focused on the rump instead.

If you capture a head we can not to see a beautiful back,Romy.
