Guillemot in flight

Hi to all,

After spending a fruitless and very disapointing 3 days in Norfolk in search of Barnowls I decided another trip to Bempton to try and capture that illusive Razorbill in flight shot would cheer me up , after battling through the crowds I managed to reach my favourite spot between the viewing points , once set up and with a Razorbill in the frame I rattled off a 25 shot burst , with a big grin on my face I thought I must have nailed it this time but no my nemesis had alluded me once again , guess i'll just have to keep trying , so here's another Guillemot , thoughts on the comp would be appreciated , thanks for looking.

Hi Andy, I know this feeling of coming home with nothing.
Life goes up and down
Although a perfect flight shot from you.
cheers,

Ive got a feeling that darned razorbill shot is just around the corner Andy, although you can take comfort in this cracking guillimot shot

Looks comfortably framed to my eye, and a nicely detailed shot of the chap!!

Alan

Not an easy bird to get in flight so this is a good'un-great exposure with lots of detail in the whites and wings

Hi Andrew,

I like this very much!! Nice exposure with details in the black's and white's. I hope to get something half as good when I am there in 3 weeks time

If you are ever in Suffolk give me a shout and you can come and have a go at my Barn Owl's

Nice flight-shoto with a good angle. Mayby a tad more contrast ?

Looks about right to me, but agree could be a little "punchier", but that may loose some dark detail.

Good looking flight shot with all the detail.
You dont have to come to Norfolk in search of Barn Owls Andrew they are here I can assure you.

Major.

Very good shot Andy well caught sharp and well exposed.

Thanks for the comments guys , cheers

Hi Rich , just checked out your website , the 7th Razorbill shot is a real stunner , very envious , looks like a very windy day ???

Excellent detail in this shot and the exposure looks spot on to me, but I would say it is maybe a bit flat. A small nit though.
