This is another image of the gulls-after-scoot sequence (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?p=40219#post40219) taken at Kerkini lake, Greece.
Though the light conditions were steady, I prefered to shoot at AV mode to avoid accidental burn outs of the white wings of the gulls with the manual mode. Yet I was able to keep nice 1/2000sec to fix the water splashes. The other data goes f7.1, ISO 400, canon 40D + 300mm f/4 and weak contrast on the standart camera profile.
PP: multiple clone outs of bubbles in the BG, which look like a huge dust spots; repaired wing, levels, S/H and USM.
