Hope you all enjoy

Well it didn't look great so I tried to fix it. Didn't do much but at least it doesn't look too over exposed

Really nice, don't know what the original looked like but this looks excellent!

I hadn't seen this photo prior to the changes made, but this looks fantastic. Seagulls are normally thought of as ugly birds, at least in North America, but you have captured this in a beautiful way. Very good detail and great colour.

could drop the ISO to 100 and then open up the apature so u dont have 1/4000 of a second
but who cares, it looks gorgeous!

Hehe well I put it on the Av setting like you suggested but I forgot to even look at the ISO so it was still on 1600 but despite that it still came out really well
Thanks for the critique

Woah that's a really fat seagull... what have you guys been feeding it...
I know I'm a newb when it comes to photography 
(I'll probably get burned fairly quick on this one, but that's exactly what I do... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They feed themselves I guess. I think it looks fat because it was cold and windy
ISO is a setting that does something I can't rememebr
No seriously the ISO helps with lighting conditions. Because it was an overcast day, I did not need the ISO so high, I just forgot to look at it and take it into account
I could have done everything on auto but there is no skill in that

YOU DID SO SEE PELICANS!!!!!
you just didn't get to take any pics

Well that's what I meant, I saw them far away but didn't really get to see them

The answer Ms Z is because I was shooting at night and had the camera set at that speed to alleviate the need for a flash. (refer to my acct later this week to see why)
Miss TVD was obviously using my last setting, it did however give her a nice sharp crisp image.
*refers TVD to a bird anatomy book*

Umm, you took those night shots AFTER I took these photos
And hey, I played with buttons. . I didn't look at the ISO tis all ;_;
Oh and the b/g was just lovely wasn't it?
OMG birds have holes!

Ohhh I see ;_;
Ooops, you teach me how to use my own camera ok?

I adjusted to 1600 with the STELLAAA shot. If the camera was on Manual it had my last settings

Wow, you were close to that little fella! It is his nostril pumpkin (and you sure focused well on it too - never seen a nostril so clearly before! 
A question - why did you shoot at ISO1600?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I have never seen a seagull nostril that close before
An answer - I don't bloody know what I'm doing! 
I'm still learning

Mr Shadow has been explaining ISO as well
I still don't do everything fully, I just zoom and focus really and make it look like I can do it all by my little self
Thanks for the tip, I will have to try and do that next time

I love it, it looks so chubby and huggable.
Sorry for the stupid question, but is that a hole in his beak?

Oh and trust me that is not a stupid question, I thought the same thing! I think it is
