Last summer my friend and I took a trip to Bempton Cliffs on the East Coast and spent most of the day taking flight shots of Gannet and Fulmar. This shot is of a young gannet passing close to the cliff edge and is a full frame photo of one of these beautiful birds.
Taken with 1Dmk2N and 500mm (handheld) ISO250 at F5.6, -0.67EV at 1/2500s
Just sorting out a trip to Bass Rock for this summer which should be gannet paradise :)
This image is well done. One small issue would be the direction the bird is looking. A bit of a head turn towards the viewer would be nice. Thanks for sharing...
I really enjoy this image, I like the cold feel of the blue grey background. Sharpness is great and the whites really work for you in this type of light
Classic Bempton Gannet image, The good thing about shooting high on the cliffs there is the great background that the sea offers-Bass rock should be great-better prey for the weather
