Artist's Description
I went up to Eagle Lake (Lassen County, California, USA) on a late July afternoon to take a walk and watch the birds. Several terns were flitting around as they do, occasionally diving to grab a minnow out of the water. Someday, I’ll photograph that moment one hits the water but I’m always happy just to get a frame of one in focus since they fly quite fast and erratically. I caught this one flying west as its head was bathed in the last bit of golden sunshine.
Full disclosure: this image is from two frames. The bird did indeed fly by that sky a second or two before I captured it but by the time I got this frame of the bird it had moved to less interesting sky so I took the liberty of doing a 2 second “time blend.”
About Mike Lee
First of all, thank you for stopping by my little gallery. Whether you're a fellow artist, potential buyer, or a casual observer, I'm glad something made you want to take a look at my work. I've appreciated fine photography of all types for as long as I remember. I suspect it is at least partially hereditary as my parents met while each was involved in photographic pursuits for the US Navy (mom in the darkroom and dad in the field). Since my first instant film camera as an adolescent, I've always had a passion for photography and a real appreciation for what goes in to making a truly fine image. In 2018 I was able to retire from a professional career that provided a good livelihood for my family but, if I'm honest, left much to be...
