Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 9: Semester at Sea, Spring 2014 Enrichment Voyage. Isafjordur, Iceland.
Arctic Tern Ready to Attack. We were on a bird watching Field Trip in Isafjordur (Ísafjörður) and apparently got too close to the Arctic Tern’s nest. They would dive bomb and try to peck your head. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/4, 1/2500 sec). Raw image processes with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
