Finally some time to post another shot. On our last day at Helgoland Bart and I spend most of our time on flightshots. At first we both had some problems with tracking these birds in flight but after a while we got our hands on it.

Excellent exposure, sharpness and framing of the Northern Gannet in flight. I have to go see them for myself sometime soon.

A terrific shot, Japper!

:roll:

Exposure was right on and the deep blue sea really makes the subject standing out. Looking forward to see more bird shots from Helgoland ...
