WC# 179: Running with the Gulls

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted June 4, 20052,506 views6 comments

I shot this while visiting family in Corpus Christi back in February. I was trying to give the impression of flying with the gulls from a bird's point of view and this is the only photo I took with this idea in mind (the crooked horizon was done intentionally).

Tech Data:
Canon EOS 300D
Tokina 19-35 at 19mm
1/400 sec. at f/11
ISO 400, JPEG
Auto White Balance

Adam,
Nicely done! I don't often like the tilted types of shots, but it works really well here. I like everything about this!

Very pleasant feel to this Adam. These gulls must have been flying very close to you (and, you caught the moment well so they now feel close to us, too).

On a minor nit, I'd take out (your?) shadow on LLH.

Neat idea. I get a real sense of motion (almost dizzy) looking at it. It's fun.

Cool angle! Imaginative and fun...and the sharpness and exposure are great too!
