On my visit to Sandy Hook a few weeks ago, I spent a few minutes trying to catch these guys in flight. I never got a razor-sharp shot with great wing position, but I thought this one was an interesting pose. Almost full frame except for a little rotation. Cloned out an oof gull. I believe this is an adult in transition from breeding to non-breeding plumage, but someone may wish to correct me.
D7000, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 800, 1/1600s @ f/7.1 manual, lowered gitzo and mongoose (sitting on the beach).
The jpeg looked so flat....I am really glad that I opened this one, Bill. I like the details, especially under the "arm pits" as well as the pose and the soft (in a good way!) feel to the image. Love it.
