Location
This photo was taken at Jenner Beach California.Time
This was taken mid afternoon September 18, 2016.Lighting
Fortunately the sun was behind me the Pelicans took off from the beach and begin heading off along the shoreline.Equipment
I used a Nikon D610 with a Nikon 80-400 mm lens and this shot was handheld.Inspiration
There were hundreds of Gulls and Pelicans on the beach taking off and landing all the time so I was trying to capture birds in flight.Editing
I processed this in LR and used a plugin from On1.In my camera bag
I usually carry a Nikon D610, 16-35 and 80-400 Nikon lenses. I also carry an assortment of ND filters and tripod.Feedback
The best advice in my opinion for capturing birds in flight is take a lot of shots as you are trying to follow their movement and have your focus points set for more than single focus.
