Taking inspiration from some gorgeous silhouettes posted in the last few days.....
I shot this from a ferry in Galveston, TX. The sunset was not all that great but there was one patch amongst the clouds that was very nice. With many gulls and terns flying around the ferry, I was hoping one would fly in front of that patch. I had my camera ready and eyeing the birds as they flew around. This dude obliged. cropped from horizontal.
40D. 400f5.6 at f/6.3. iso 640. 1/2000. I dont have the exact number right now...but WB was color temp in the 5500-6000K range. I dont know what to do about the chromatic aberration around the bird.
