Hurricane Bird

Hurricane Bird was taken while on an adventure into Northern British Columbia into the Great Bear Rainforest. We were interested to capture an image of the Spirit Bear whose Ghost like look was revered by the local Natives. But the story is getting there safely and getting safe anchorage while enduring several hurricane storms while on board our sail boat. The conditions were challenging and we only had 4 hours photography during the week long adventure.
This is a fleeting gull after he had enjoyed his salmon meal from the shoreline. We are anchored at a Native village for safety reasons and felt like we had cabin fever, so ventured to a local river and watched the birds eating the expired salmon on the rocks. Was Very dark conditions with Rain and wind our constant companion.
The image was taken at ISO 6400 using Nikon D700.
The colours have shifted with the high iso .
