2021-09-23 juvenile Mediterranean gull successful hunting

I wanted to try out some new camera settings that Matt proposes in his course on bird photography. This is an excellent course btw.

Anyhow I planned to go to our nearby harbour, so I took my camera along. After I completed what I had to to on the boat I grabbed my camera went on deck and pointed the camera to the first bird I could see. It was a juvenile mediterranean gull. The camera focused and I started shooting. I did not stop for quit a while. The action the gull had prepared for me was just amazing to watch. Not so m much for the fish I believe, but for the gull and for me it was great.

The camera settings worked perfectly. Post processing done in Lightroom Classic and with Topaz Labs DeNoiseAI and SharpenAI.
