[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Seagull soaring over Marmara Sea in Istanbul. I tried to shot these birds from our ship during trip to Prince's Islands [where Cem lives], but without great success. Only two pictures are so-so. This one isn't bad, but POV could be better - probably bird was too fast ;-) Capturing birds in flight with compact camera is very frustrating job ;-)

Nice shot Greg. Very nice composition, perfect sharpness. TFS

I can't take photos of birds so I like watching yours.

I think you did a great job in capturing this bird in mid flight.

:o) Hi Gregorz

Hi Greg

Your patience paid off. Excellent shot and well done on the composition. Beautiful work, I like the shy look.

Photographing flying birds needs a good camera and a lot of talent. You've got them both (especially the last one, in this case). A color photo can be brilliant even if hasn't many colours. (you just proved it).

Hello Greg,

For a first time in flight shot this is incredible...and only the beginning.

You will learn the tricks quickly and perhaps become as "hooked" as the rest of us junkies! :-D)

Great details, POV, and composition.

Lighting seems a bit dark, but not so much that it takes away from this lovely shot.

Congratulations, and thank you.

Superb shot Greg!
POV is fime, framing as well. It's a bit noisy maybe, but still it's great shot.
I like it very much.
VERY WELL DONE & TFS

Hi Greg,
Excellent detail in this perfectly frozen flight shot. Nothing wrong with anything here, it looks great.

Grzegorz, I know how difficult it is to get a bird flying with a compact camera; anyway, you did great once more.

There seems to be some little noise on the bg, but I guess the Blur Tool could easily remove it.

Great sharpness and details.

Congratulations.

Hi Greg

Sorry short on time today. Great shot. Nicely composed. Nice detail with good light. Well done. Thanks.

Excellent inflight capture Greg. Really good job..especially with a compact and handheld as you say. I hope you don't mind but I did a workshop. Well done!
