Gannet - a photo on Flickriver

Gannet

            Was lucky enough to have a trip to the coast yesterday, initially Filey for a walk on the beach with Honey and even though it wasn’t packed I wanted somewhere more peaceful. So after an hour or 2 I headed to Bempton cliffs and the bird reserve. Fortunately it was quieter there.

It’s Gannett heaven at Bempton cliffs, there are thousands of them there. I love watching them. Normally when I’m here you will see other photographers with enermous lenses, big cameras and big tripods. Now I do own a big zoom lens, the sigma 150 -600 mm, but it doesn’t really fit well with my canon eos m50 which I was using yesterday. Not wanting to miss out on trying to get closer images, I reverted to my little 55-200mm M lens, it’s very small and if any of you know the m50, you will know that is very small too. But not to be deterred, I set about my task of capturing birds at Bempton. I’m not going to lie to you, this Gannett in photo was about 8 or 9 metres from me, not under my toes but not a million miles away either. I am quite pleased how it as come out, it’s not as close up as some photos of Gannetts you will see, but I quite like that you can still see the environment it is in. I think it’s proof that you don’t always need a big lens or a big camera, you just have to try a different approach.

I’ve put this up for my friend Victoria, she’s the only other person I know in my contacts and friends that use an M series camera, I’m hoping she will be quite impressed with what the little 55-200 can do.
