Fulmar flight
Hi to all,

Another Fulmar in flight , photographed at Bempton last weekend , the pov isn't the best , I was a little to high but then the Fulmars did tend to keep very low for most of the day , the real reason I like this is because of the feather detail and the fact that you can see just about every feather group , thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 ( Cropped )

1D3 , 500F4IS + 1.4T/c , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2
1/1250th @ F8 -1/3rd E/comp iso400 RAW

All comments welcome

Cracking detail, and I particularly like the cool white balance on this too.

Beautiful detail in a well composed image. DOF gives perfect isolation to the subject.

Lovely bird Andrew with lots of detail. :toast:
This one is perticularly attractive as it appears to be verging on the Blue phase.
