Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8, TC20E (600/5.6), tripod

Exposure: Aperture priority matrix meter

Commentary: One image of a series from a gray foggy morning on the beach at Bodega Bay. This is a tighter composition than I usually shoot, but somehow the bulky look of this gull seems appropriate dominating the small space of the frame.
