Herring Gull

Labels:
Oh I do indeed like to be beside the seaside when light like this is available. The framing of the bird, by the way, is quite deliberate; the 1Ds has 45 possible focus points and I opted for the farthest on the right to get the maximum amount of beach and sky in the remainder of the shot.

Canon 1Ds MkII, Canon 100-400mm IS USM lens, 1/1,000th sec, f/9, 400mm at ISO 400. Distance to subject: c 5m

    Love the quirky composition here, Tim. I wouldn't have thought of doing that, so intent am I on getting a standard portrait. Has given me a few ideas - thanks!
