    Good shots. I prefer anything that doesn't have a blue sky background, so I'll default to #1, though #3 is nice.

    So I know nothing about Fuji, but am I correct in assuming that you're AF'ing an adapted Nikon 500Pf to get those shots?? Unless they move more predicable in a nature study area, terns are not an easy capture. A light body and lens can only help in that, but still...........

    Thank you,

    Yes the Nikon 500 PF focuses and tracks great using a Fringer brand lens adapter on Fuji bodies. The park is a nature preserve, the terns are wild birds and as you state not the easiest subject yet with practice it gets easier.

    Thank you Danny,

    The out of focus phragmites makes a wonderful background
