Just a quick snapshot really - but for those who wondered how I got this close: While the 70-300 isn't the highest quality lens there it does allow you to a get a near macro 1:2 at the 300mm end - meaning you can get a shot like this from about a metre away. Of course the lens get's pretty long at the macro end and thus is hard to handhold at anything less than about 1/180.

You can't train seagulls, so how'd you get this bugger to hold still & so close too? I like the dramatic effect of the black, white & beak composition. 7
