taking the tern test

Would you like to challenge your photography skills? Take the tern test. These terns glide about 15 feet above the water until they spot a fish. Then the tern turns and dives with the speed of an arrow straight into the water after the fish. If they are lucky they emerge with a meal. All of this happens in a couple of seconds and if you are fishing for a photograph of these feathered rockets you have to be on the top of your game.
