Parakeet Auklet

ST.Paul Island, Alaska

D3, 300, 1.4TC, ISO 1250, 5.6, 1/3200.

This was taken last year as I sat on a cliff edge with my workshop participants.
The Pribilof Islands are such a special place. Can't wait to get back there next Aug.

Gorgeous flight shot Alan! Terrific underside detail and great eye contact. I'll be joining you in Alaska sometime very soon!

[Arthur Morris]

Another spectacular flight image; SH and EXP right on. The underside of the upper wing looks more noisy than most of your images.

[Raymond Lee]

Great shot! I would love to have one of those. It does look a bit noisy...is it a tight crop, which could bring out more noise compare to near a filled frame shot at the same ISO.

Hey Ray, it is a tight crop, plus was shot under foggy conditions. Thanks.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great comp. and the vertical crop works well.

[Stu Bowie]

Great banking angle showing the full wingspread. Interesting shape to the bill.
