Gannet with nesting material
Hi folks just staying on Helgoland Island in the North Sea
I am here for the Gannets and the Seals.
Good location with easy access to the animals.Weather conditions are tough at the moment , mainly overcast and rain , rarely some sunshine.

Super shot, Andreas...you have captured some lovely detail in both the feathers and the seaweed. Exposure looks just about spot on, as does the sharpness.
Glad to see the weather managed to break for you, similar to here at present Andreas. Can't comment on the 'usual' but any images with the subject coming towards you rather than away?

Thanks Andy and Steve for looking and commenting.
Steve i would have preferred what you are thinking..........but wind direction ,sun angle and the way they fly did not allow it.......
Image taken this morning , just got back from the seals ............ soaking wet, so far about the weather break.
Thanks and cheers Andreas
It's similar to Bempton Andreas where the come up on the updraft and momentarily hover, giving you enough time for some frames.
Don't forget, you are wearing the best waterproof gear you can get, you skin.just got back from the seals ............ soaking wet, so far about the weather break
BTW, re your reply about sharpening, I think it' the MacBook Pro screens, mine does the same.

Well balanced highlights, sharp and I like the moment (position of wings). Cheers! Miro
Superb exposure with rich details in the white feathers. Nice blue bg to set the bird off and the payload he's carrying adds to the image.
Crits? The bird is angled away and the near wing is casting a shadow on the head.
TFS and looking forward to more.
Really nice bird and with a very nice BG. I do wish the bird's head was looking toward us.
lovely exposure, the blue makes it stand out
IQ is nice
