    Well I haven't been able to get out shooting lately, so nothing much new to post. Here's one form Santa Barbara.

    Hopefully I will get out to the beach tomorrow morning.

    Hey Aidan, living inland with the nearest coastline 600km away, I envy you when you say " Hopefully I will get out to the beach tomorrow morning." I just love marine birds and even the gulls give us sweet oportunities. Excellent exposure and detail from the underwing, and I like the flying posture. Overall sharp, and the lighter sky adds to the image. Well captured.

    Thanks Stuart, sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live where I do. I guess I need a bit of perspective.

    Nicely done Aidan. Plumage is a little beaten up, and I might move the bird a little lower in the frame. But overall very nice.

    Very nice flight shot Aidan. Good light and colors. Held up very nicely for the crop.
