Sabine's Gull

[Glenn Bartley]

Here's another from my pelagic trip a few weeks back. I just cant emphasize how hard it is to photograph birds in flight from a moving boat, in 7-10 foot swells, with 20 other people on the boat, wind, shifting light, seasickness, etc, etc. Lets just say this - I was pretty happy to get this one :)

Camera Model: Canon EOS 50D
Shutter speed: 1/2000 sec
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 400
Focal length: 500mm + 1.4x

As someone prone to motion sickness, just reading the conditions for this shot made me feel a little queazy:(

Very nice image. I like the deep blue background, sharpness and wing position. Nice image

[Matthew Studebaker]

Yes - that's bird photography for the tough stomach crowd for sure. What a beautiful shot of a seldom photographed species. Beautiful work Glenn. Great pose.

[David Fletcher]

Be happy to have got this too Glenn. Beautiful shot! 10/10 for having the stomach too.

Wow, love the setting...

Exellent image - I especially like the eye contact and blues of the background.
