Calling Ring-billed Gull close up – Nikon D500, f9, 1/3200, ISO 640, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
It isn’t all that often that I am able to photograph a calling Ring-billed Gull close enough that I can get a great view of the inside of its bill so when the opportunity presented itself earlier this week I took advantage of the situation. I can’t help myself, I love gulls.
This Ring-billed Gull was at the edge of my local pond when I drove up to photograph the birds there while the light was good in the late afternoon and it was still in the same place when I left about 15 minutes later to head back home and I enjoyed taking quite a few portraits of this gull during that time.
Life is good.
