Been a while since all of the gull posts. I shot a couple today.

I prefer the second - it's a shame the shadow cuts across his face like that. Neat pic, though.

These are sharp and have lovely curves, but the underside of the birds are under exposed as they are in the shade. I think a Beamer might help in this circumstance to balance the shaded exposure without over exposing the sky too much.

I ordered my Better Beamer from here http://www.naturephotographers.net/gs.html had it in less than a week. Pretty slick and easy. They have a lot of stuff you may find useful for wildlife photgraphy also, Greaper.

They also sell the Kinesis Safari sack which is a large and cool bean bag support made by Kinesis and useful for shooting out of car or house windows.
www.kinesisgear.com also offers a lot of bags and packs for nature photographers.

For the most part I prefer shooting with natural light, but I just ordered the beamer, Thx for the link.

The biggest thing I have to do is calibrate my monitors. I am not sure what any of this stuff looks like to you guys (n gals)

I like those natural light shots, greap. There's no loss of detail under the wings and the translucent nature of the tail feathers is sublime.

Got it yesterday, and yer right fish, it looks bit geeky, LOL

But I gotta tell ya, I test shot it across the house and it about burned a hole in the opposite wall. I can't wait to try it out this weekend, Sunday probably,
