Was out looking for some raptors today but towards midday it got quite overcast and there was no raptors to be seen
I was on a cliff so decided to take some shots of the yellow legged gulls in first year plumage. Not sure if this counts as a shore bird?
This one I particularly like because of the wing position and nice light
D800e
Nikkor 200-500mm at 500mm
f5,6
1/2500
ISO 1250
Manual mode adjusting exposure by checking for blinkies
Cropped for composition and usual levels and slight brightening of face and slight shadow on chin and breast
Separated subject and slightly darkened BG to show of some of the sea and ripples under the grey sky
USM on subject
Thanks for viewing and comments most welcome
