My Favorites #2- Bird of a Feather Flock Together

Posted by Immersed Photography (Houston, United States) on 20 January 2007 in Animal & Insect.

Taken a while back, probably posted in the past last year, want to revisit a couple of my all time favorite shots. This was hard work to get, i don't have a DSLR, so motion shots tend to be tricky. I was able to manage this shot with the help of my lovely fiancee who kept throwing bread to the seagulls who flew quite close. Thanks for visiting today, and as alwasy ideas are welcome!

An awesome photo, well worth the investment in bread (and sweet-talking your fiance too!!)

@Bronnie: Yes indeed. She was screaming bloody murder at first thinking the animals wanted nothing better than to go and bomb her with droppings, but once she got over that fear, it was much better.

Great shot! I have a photo by the same name =) The umbrella shot is very difficult to get, most often achieved by dropping a substance that is less viscous into a more viscous solution, like water dropping into glycerine. There's a very talented man by the name Martin Waugh who has mastered this to a T. Check it out!

Beautifully crisp and sharp shot Sheldon. Great colours. I like how one of the gulls is looking at you! Very nicely done....I can see why you like it so much.
