Seals, Sails and Seabirds

Actually, it's Seals, Sails, Seabirds - and a Rabbit...

... but that didn't sound so slick!

Lovely tabblo. The shots of the gull on the cliff and on the wing are super.

Very impressed by the panning shot of the gull in the air -- may i ask for exposure info on it?

Thank you for all your kind comments.

Aah, Thingomy. You will know this area well - just north of the Eshaness light. A favourite place for killer whales to catch the seals on the rocks. Focal length: 200mm. Exp: 0.00125 sec. although you *must* be able to do much better with the gear that you have! TTFN, R.

@Dawson_online The longest I have currently is 210mm (unless you cound the lenses that I don't like and am tryign to sell). My kit would not actually be any better suited to that job than yours.

1/800 shutter speed would explain why it is sharp.

I've never realy tried to get photos like that, I've never been in a situation that I could since I got my good kit, but it's now on the todo list.

Cheers

Great shots here - my favourite is the second one. Great light...

@Hollyridger - Thank you. Yes, I was pleased with that one, although hanging over the edge of a 300 foot sea cliff just to get a photo of a couple of seals isn't the smartest thing I have ever done... ;o)
