Gannets Displaying
Just got back from a five day trip with Mark Sisson (among others) photographing this beautiful bird (among others). It was a dull day when I took this shot but every now and then the sun popped out and the light at times was cracking.

Canon 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, 1.4x Converter, F5.6, ISO 200

That was quick - some of us have had some work to do since we got home :wink: :wink:

Knew that one was nice when you took it - hope to get to look at/post some of my stuff later today.
