Swift Tern After-Dive Shake-Off - Woodbridge Island, Cape Town

A swift tern shaking off some excess water after an unsuccessful food dive in the Milnerton Lagoon, Woodbridge Island. Its very challenging to capture this routine, but the Canon EOS 7D Mark II's responsive Autofocus system and fast frame capture rate nails focus. The images here are three consecutive frame captures.

All swift tern photos by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 7D Mark II / EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens ISO 640 f/5.6 1/4000's, AI Servo (Handheld). 10 fps High-Speed continuous shooting mode.
