Hover ?? , no bover !!
Hi to all,

Another Bempton Gannet , photographed in last months in gail force winds , for such a big bird it's amazing how they can hang on the wind with the slightest of effort , the whites are a bit hot but thats just down to my rubbish processing , need more practice :frown: , thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 (Crop)

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

All comments welcome

Regards

Andy... :smile:

I see what you mean about the hot spots, but I reckon that it's still a great shot. I like the contrast between the bright whites and the black feet and feathers. The more I look the more I like it. Marvellous shot.

I love this - he seems to be looking around to see if his mates are watching.

Nicely captured, and the hot bits don't detract. Well done

Fab pose! Just wonder if its worth cloning the sea background over the whole frame: the cliff edge top right is a little distracting :smile:

Very nice... I am sure that you will be able to rescue the whites with a little bit more practice.

Very nice, really like the pose you've caught and as others have said the hot spots don't detract.
