For those of you who can remember the film then I thought this was quite apt, scary. :bg3:
A while back I had the opportunity to test some of the new kit from Canon that was coming on stream, however one that was in the bag of goodies, but had not ever thought of using was the 14mm lens. Well this location gave an excellent opportunity to give it a whirl with a flash, something I rarely use, however...
Pre setting the distance and approximate flash required it was down to the Arctic Terns to do there attack mode. It was a little hit & miss, but good fun, although the occasional peck was not such fun. Having a threatening skyline helped tremendously and I left the building in as it's a very well known location. The clipped tip of the wing is a slight pain, but I was more conscious for trying to get things to work & have fun rather than spot on with this particular shot and also the effect.
Randy, this was one of the images I was referring to in relation to your reply a while back.
