[Theme] Show Birds

Thanks, Jacov, glad you like them.

Seagull attack.

Very much enjoy the wider-angle close-ups you have managed, Anthony!  It is so unusual for wild birds, imaged full of presence, (hope that is apt definition, no other word comes to mind.)  I can see how this technique can work with aggressive sea gulls and eye level vantage.

Elsa, between your goose, the ostrich and Anthony's seagulls, I'm becoming very nervous!

John's and Anthony's seagulls are spectacular!
Usually birds are shot from distance with tele lenses, these I like in particular because of their vicinity.

Thanks Jakov.  They were so close (especially the one-legged) you could touch them. And it's shot at 35mm (With the 17-35)

Elsa, you made me laugh with your big birds!

[Anthony]

Thanks, Eb, I was on a boat at the time, which made eye level access easier.

As for big birds, here are a couple of condors.  The first a female, is an uncropped image, the second, the male, is slightly cropped.  D3s and 70-300.
