The lighting really works here and the detail is superb.

Well done. :toast:

Hi Tom

An excellent flight shot with great detail in the bird and the exposure looks perfect with good detail in the whites. I usually assume I need good light for flight photography but this demonstrates that it not always true, especially with lighter coloured birds.

cheers

The light was dreadful (sea har) but the birds were virtually bombing me. Great fun though.

Surperb flight shot - you really nailed the exposure - not a blown highlight to be seen!

Nice composition too.
