Very good! Can't wait to see more.
Can I ask for some lens/camera details? I'd love to know the focal length. I'm nosey.

well, you certainly MADE your presence known :wink:

i too love this! very nice shot and welcome to the TPF :thumbsup:

howdy, i shot it with a nikon D70 at 70mm, but i think thats different cause its a digital cam, not sure how to work out the magnification, any idea's?

i'm going to go back to the same spot and try again when the sky is blue and not overcast.

thanks for the welcome by the way

i'm going to set myself up as "that guy that takes photos of seagulls" when infact i have only ever taken 2; this is my other one:

it has been 'immortalised' by a friend of mine who has his own clothing company, you can see it here: http://www.existclothing.co.uk/The Shop/Hoodies.htm

thanks a lot
so it is x1.5: which means my new lens is 105mm-450mm! and not 70mm-300mm. i havent really used it yet though, i'm going out tomorrow to test it out properly, hopefully i'll get a new shot to post

Welcome in, "that guy that takes photos of seagulls". :wink:

Great photos, #1 is killer.

Someday, (when I get a job), I gotta get me one of them D70's. I use a DSLR wanna be, and soon should be ready for a DSLR.
