Hey, watch it!!!

Hey, watch it!!!
This week in SSC:

"Fast Shutter Speed"

I had fun playing around with fast shutter speeds this week. I really learned a LOT. These seagulls were fun to watch at the beach the other day.


...and for Sight and Sound:

The Eagles from their album "Hotel California" (1976)

Hi Karen,

The fast shutter speed has frozen the action perfectly!!
While anybody can point a camera at a flock of birds and get at least one, you have taken this to a much better and higher level by sharing a scene where we can see the eye contact between the gulls on the ground, and the big invader. I like it very much!!!

Best Wishes
Peter

Thanks, Peter. You say the nicest things. :)

It really happened so fast that I'm not sure how I got it all but that's very nice of you to say. I do like the interaction between the gulls. Not unlike people really. ;))

Wow! Superbly captured, Karen. Great title :-) An immediate fave for me and then some! And, a spot-on musical match. A crackin' track from one of the best ever albums I say :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Excellent result. How long did you have to wait to find a bunch of seagulls? ;)

Thank you!

Not long at all. We were walking down the road along the beach and there they were. Obviously they were used to people. I stood and took lots of pics and they just went about their day.
