Anhinga shot with my 400/5.6, the rest with 85/1.8

Well, they're all brilliant.
And snapping focus on those flying gulls is just awesome.
Well done.

Great shots pingflood. I like the colors in the first shot. On the shots with the 85mm. I'm guessing there was some cropping involved or were the gulls that close?

Very minor cropping -- I give them some bread now and then so they like me and get very close.

And here I am giving away my tricks.

Hard part about them being that close is trying to keep them in the viewfinder; they move around FAST.

Hey, the bread is cheating!

Super shots, though... really sharp and brilliant.
