A few Arctic Terns attacking me on Inner Farne.
Because they came so close as they tried to peck my eyes out, as they do, I was able to use my 24mm f/2.8D. I also used an off-camera SB900 Speedlight in high speed sync mode (so I was able to use flash at 1/1000s to control the sky exposure). I've cropped them a bit too.
Please note that this is normal behaviour for the Inner Farne Arctic Terns and no birds were harmed in the taking of these photographs. I was though. The pecking is really quite painful if they time it right...
