Hi Paul, All looking a little soft to be honest. What shutter speed were you using? May well have not been quick enough for the birds.

Cheers

Shutter speed was 500.

i would go for at least 1/1000th f/5.6

Shows how sad I am, I thought it was a thread about Torquay United versus Grimsby Town!

I'd agree with Sara and Andy - a faster shutter speed is needed for flight shots. Also a bit more exposure compensation against light skies. And there appears to be a big dust spot at the centre of no. 4 - sensor cleaning needed perhaps?

Come on you Mariners! We only sing when were fishing!

As for the pictures, there good could be better Follow the advice above. Number 4 is the best for me.

Bird in flight (BiF) shots are dificult arn`t they but there is promise, the poses caught in 1 and 4 are interesting and add to the shot but yeah to get the best and sharpest shots possible you need faster shutter speeds. Gulls are excellent to practice on cause generally they don`t have to many eratic movements meaning they can be followed easily.
