Faster than a bullet

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted January 21, 201164 views3 comments

Taken on Skomer Island last June.
They fly past so fast it's difficult to even keep them in the viewfinder.

Sony A350
Sigma 50-500
1/1250th
f8
ISO 200
200mm
-0.3 stop exposure compensation
Centre-weighted metering
Hand held
Taken as a single shot (not machine gunning)
Cropped a bit off the right and bottom as the bird was taken too centrally.

Good capture! If it isn't cropped very much, I'd like to see it a little larger in the frame.

Hi Geoff, a cracking capture mate. There is a real sense of speed to this one, well done!
