Location

This photo is at Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire UK

Time

It was taken mid day.

Lighting

Diffuse lighting helped to see the subtle colours of the birds.

Equipment

Canon EOS 40D with 300mm lens

Inspiration

I have seen many similar photos - birds nesting with the sea far below - That I knew this would be a good competition.

Editing

I tweaked the contrast.

In my camera bag

Nothing else

Feedback

I took several on these birds - I chose one where there are all looking out of the picture and I was looking in.
