Love these Rense #2 is really good, what a shame the high left was positioned as the high right over the open wings of the one below, now in BW really Alfie Hitchcock, ,I can feel my eyes being pecked out

 

[Lesley Jones]

Each one more beautiful than the last

 

[Hamish Gill]

Very nice indeed!
How were you so close with such a wide lens??

 

[Lesley Jones]

Chips would do it

 

[Rense Haveman]

Thank you all!

These were shot from the deck of the ferry from Texel, this afternoon. A school class with sandwiches helped a lot!

 

[Darren Turner]

awesome photos, great clarity & detail, This is stuff of nightmare for me i am scared of seagulls........haha

would love to know your method of approach to grab these, i guess flash was important ??

[Rob MacKillop]

Amazing shots! Wow!

 

[Brian Moore]

Really fine pictures, Rense.

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderful series of shots there Rense. Especially the third and the second to last.

Have you seen The Wizard of Oz by any chance? You'll get the reference to flying monkeys if you have (image two).

And, if I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of Dodkin Surveillance Gulls in that bunch too - he's keeping an eye on you too Rense. None of us are safe from that power crazed maniac - he'll be getting a white cat soon!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

So angry, and the sky as well - wonderful!

 

[Glen Roberts]

These are great, I never thought of using a wider lens for gulls but certainly will try it some time...

These are wonderful, Rense! All superb, the 1st & 3rd work best for me though!

 

[Rense Haveman]

Thanks a lot for the friendly comments!

wow these are amazing, I find the sharp focus to be exceptionally accurate which I've found is a difficult task with birds in flight like that, may I ask what the f stop & shutter speed was?

Thank you! Yes of course: these are made at ISO80, f/9, and an exposure of 1/1250 second...
