More Bird Photography

I like bird photography, but without a fast telephoto lens, there's not much opportunity for it. So most of the bird photography I've done is restricted to more urban birds; primarily seagulls and pigeons.

As I've said before, even with just a little bread, seagulls become very easy subjects to photograph at 55 mm.

Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/1250
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 55 mm
Handheld



I found that if you spend enough time with burst mode and servo AF, you'll get the seagulls in a good pose in at least one photo. I didn't even have to crop this one. I'm very happy with how this one turned out.
