Yesterday, I had the wrong lens with me but was able to capture a couple of gulls in flight against the sky. Heavy crops with 100mm lens shot at f2.5 and 1/2000 shutter speed. I'm not sure which gulls these are so id would be nice if anyone is familiar with them. Enjoy.

Beautiful shots and boy is that sky ever blue! I would have to look them up..... I can do that this evenng if no one else has id'd them.
I have no idea which gulls they are, but those are beautiful photos of them.
Well done, buddy! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanx folks, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I do wish I'd had a longer lens though.
It was the best opportunity I've had for BIF shots.
Gary: There were a couple of turkey vultures there too so I tried scaring them your direction. :D Nahh, I got a couple of shots of them as well but they were quite a bit higher and I had to REALLY crop them for worthwhile shots.
I've tried to find them in my books and on the net, but no luck with either as yet and I just don't see a lot of gulls around here to be familiar with thier naes.
