Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Heerman's Gull (Larus heermanni)
Place: San Diego, CA, USA
Date: July 2000
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8, & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fujichrome Provia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 85% of frame
Commentary: Heerman's Gulls, with their white heads and dark bodies,
look like no other gull in the United States. I especially like the
way the light on this molting adult emphasizes this feature.
