Black Skimmer with Slow Motion Splash

This is how I spent the morning hours on the 4th of July – taking bird photos of course!  Here is Black Skimmer shot taken just after sunrise with low light which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/160 sec.  Ended up with a decent reflection at the point of impact with the spray being blurred.  A good way to celebrate the 4th IMO.

Taken with Canon 7D and 100-400 lens

1/160 sec @ F5.6, partial metering, ISO 400, flash with better beamer (set at -3 stops)
