Date 12-30-23
Good evening Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all tonight are these cool Ring-Billed Gull shot's in flight I took awhile back at my local lake. Now if memory serves me correctly this has a first or second winter coat currently, something I never knew about Gull's. Not to mention saw it off in the distance swoop down and what appears to be a cheese puff he got for a snack. I suppose it could be some kind of fishing bait too but I am so surprised these came out decent, considering how far away from my lens it was. Its always nice to get birds with stuff in their beaks, in the water or in flight that is always the goal is to get some kind of action. So I'll take these cool shot's and post them here for you all tonight, now for the cover shot, I went back and forth to which one to put, I went with this one above for it looks a bit more quality and the wings are expanded better in flight to make that nice moment of capture. Plus the background looks a bit more cool too even thought it is softened out, I sure do like it and glad I was able to get them because of the distance. Now for the second shot below, I wanted this one as the cover really because it seems in the bird photography world to capture something between the beak like this or food etc, is what many really like to see. So I cant remember if he was readjusting or about to swallow it. Really cool moment here though and happy with it on this post regardless.
Now for the last shot here is when it swung back around in flight and I caught a good shot of wings and its back wings spread out. Pretty cool here too and I suppose this could be a cover too but I do know these are a bit older and not my best work but worthy of a post. Anyways its always a good time at the lakes and or anywhere out shooting to be honest, I seem to not get enough of it but I do sure go out more than most too. So I cant complaint, keep shooting learning and try to get those really good shot's, that is what I am focused on these days. Well appreciate you all stopping by my blog and post here tonight, thank you all and to all have a blessed one. Keep them camera's rolling.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
