Widow Skimmer

Sunsites, Arizona

As was the case for the photo on the next page, I had to shoot through the reeds at the water's
edge to capture this beautiful Skimmer. I waited for the breeze to move the reeds to get a more
or less clear shot.

See what I mean:

Canon EOS 30D ,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
1/640s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
