The second shot was 105mm and cropped (but the gull was quite low) and the third was 200mm. I was shooting fast shutter speeds (1/1000 to 1/2000) at around f/2.8 while lying on my back waiting for them to fly overhead.
Good to see I wasn’t completely wrong thinking among those lines. Thanks for the information. Makes me want to save up for a long lens. Again, great captures. Timing those must have been tedious.
I’m learning that the more one practices the easier it gets… I took around eight shots in total, and decided to feature these two …
Mostly people just tell me I have a gift for irritating people. But, thanks, Heidi … There are some days I just need to hear that more than other days.
your pics are amazing! i didn’t realize an iPhone could take pics that amazing! ha ha. just kidding. The first pic looks almost like an end of the earth surreal pic. I love it!
Amazing shots!
Thanks Trinda…
I really enjoy the detail in the second and third shot. What focal length were you using?

Brilliant sharp gulls!
that last shot – what a picture of God’s perfection! Look at that straight body from head to tail, streamlined for flight. Beautiful.
Has someone told you lately: “You’ve got a gift!”? Beautiful.

Beautiful! Are you showing your stuff anywhere? You would have a forum (with sales) I am sure …
Nope, not selling my photos anywhere but maybe a book someday?

Yep, I carry around my Nikon pretty much everywhere I go…
