Getting some practice in before the end of the month to do more of these, and others. Taken on a spot now known affectionally as 'Puff'in point' for a few of us Not quite a grab shot...
Light was harsh that afternoon with a 'coal black' sea as the backdrop. Just about held detail for the MKIII LOL, however Des, wished I had your light from the other day.
The light is picking out the bird very well against the darker backdrop and the viewpoint works really well.
Might be worth trying to coax a little more light and detail from the water as the wing tips get a little lost against such a dark backdrop.
Nicely done young sir . The dark water and whites have been hadled extremely well. The rich blacks of the wing tips have caught the light superbly . All comes together for a very pleasing gannet BIF
Can't fault that Steve, but I think you should know that Des carries a bit of special light in a tin which he releases when other's are looking the other way. eric
