Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus)
Captured this flight image down at Barwon Heads this morning and was really happy with the shadow of the open beak on the wing. Love these birds and especially love this plumage stage. They seem to be extra aggressive at this age....full of beans.
All comments etc welcome Paul
Canon 5D 600mm f4 L (non IS) iso 200 1/1250th f8.0 CW metering -1/3 handheld
Photoshop- cloned out a Crested Terns wing and used blur tool on BG as NR
Love it. The shadow on the wing adds a whole new dimension to the image :D
Really amazing.
I really salute you to handhold 600mm, i only got mine a few days ago and tried handholding but later got arm ache :(.
Excellent BIF shot with fantastic detail, wing position and lighting! Well done!
Good job handholding 600mm and get good focus on the eye. Normally the shadow cast is undesirable but you made this one look special, excellent job. TFS
This is great mate! love the pose and the shadow perfectly placed takes it up a notch. Very good stuff! :) BTW, good to see another no-wimp who can handhold a 600! :D
Thanks all, :D
Well my arms are definitely feeling the strain. I used to skateboard and I have broken both arms twice and fractured my right wrist twice as well. I'm going to be a pretty sore old man me thinks:(
