We went out on a pelagic today. It was very sloppy and the light was less than ideal. Managed to recover some detail on this one.

Terrific! Those who have never been out on a pelagic have no idea how tough getting a shot like this can be,

Nicely done, Rob - particularly under those conditions.

I've spent hours on the sterns of ships trying to shoot with a 300mm; this is very, very good. The DOF is excellent, too, never easy on these big tube noses. Lovely, Rob.

Sounds like difficult conditions but you still managed to get an excellent image of this petrel.

Nice detail in the wings here Rob. The light looks a bit harsh as you said.
