Close up of a young little gull

The little gull (Hydrocoloeus Minutus) flew past just outside the shoreline so the challenge was not to get close but not to get too close!

Little gull on a sunny autumn day

With fifteen little gulls foraging just off the shore, the difficulty was not finding motives but getting a reasonable distance to the motif. A nice change when photographing birds!

Herring gull in backlight

Sunset after a windy day. The herring gull plan to spend the night on the harbor pier in Grönhögen. When the waves break over the pier there are beautiful light effects from the backlight, but probably not as fun for the gull who seeks a dry place to spend the night.

The last flight of the day

Just a few minutes remains before the sun sets for the day, the sky is already taking on a strong color cast by the low-lying sun. The backlit tern appear only as a silhouette as it makes one last pass in front of me on its way to its roosting place.

Long-tailed jaeger

Despite the rain and wind, visitors to your mountainside territory must be examined! Teh long-tailed jaeger (Stercorarius Longicaudus) swept past me and it was just a matter of going back so that any eggs or younglings in the vicinity would not get cold while their parent defended the nest.

Fiskmås från den ljusa sidan! Med en helt grå himmel och inte så aktiva fåglar fick den här fiskmåsen stå modell. Med lång slutartid gick det att balansera så att det vita var på gränsen till att frätas ut. Det ljusa är alltså skapat i kameran och inte i datorn. Ibland ger de 'dåliga' dagarna bäst möjligheter att experimentera och ta ut svängarna vid fotograferingen!

Gull from the bright side! With a completely gray sky and not very active birds, this gull got to model for me. With a long shutter speed, it was possible to balance so that the white was on the verge of being blown out. The light is thus created in the camera and not in the computer. Sometimes the 'bad' weather give the best opportunities to experiment when photographing!
