Description

Another Seagull capture. The Seagull got something to eat from bystanders and then flew away.I kind of like this composition. The out of focus humans and Seagull with the back ground in focus. I want every ones opinion on this capture. There I just realized how difficult it is to photograph flying Seagulls and that is why I take my hat of for Biopolartwo and others photographing birds in flight. We are still at Houtbay and we are still waiting for a boat to take us on the open sea along side the coast.Blessed day and week.God Bless.

This trick is to get a focus lock on the bird, usually easy with seagulls if you spot them coming in, but almost impossible with swallows that dart around like dragonflies.

Yes, better to focus on the bird..but I can't do it, so I can't criticise!

I agree with the above friends but it is still a nice shot we can't be perfect everytime.

@CHEAT' Don't chase the bird - Bring the bird to you.Feed it. As it come's toward's you focus on it ( Sport's setting ) and rapid shoot. The focus will auto adjust. You get some rubbish but the good pic's make it worth while. Hope this help's.

Always very difficult to have time to choose a specific click on bird and close enough lol .... But hey. nice catch anyway. Congratulations and many thanks for sharing ((5 + +)) Toujours très difficile d'avoir le temps de choisir un clic bien précis en matière d'oiseau et assez proche lol.... Mais bon . belle prise quand même . Bravo et mille mercis de partager ((5++))
