Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Northern Gannet (Morus
bassanus)
Place: Atlantic Ocean, coastal NJ, USA
Date: January 1993
Equipment: Nikon 8008, Nikkor 75-300/5.6 AF
Film: Fujichrome 100 exposed normally
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage; 85% of frame
Commentary: Away from their northern maritime nesting
territories, the best time and place to see Northern Gannets is along
the coast in winter. They seldom come close enough to shore here for
photos, so it is better to go out on a pelagic to get close to them.
An auto focus medium range zoom is very convenient to handle
composition as the birds can make close approaches to the boat.
