Gulls & Boats (In Explore! June 30th 2025)

These gulls were heading towards the river. I wanted to try and get a shot as they passed the boats. I focused on the leading gull as they approached, but as they got closer to the boats, they were also getting closer to me. so as well as panning, I was zooming out a bit too.

The AF did well with all this going on? The only thing I didn't manage to do, was keep it level. I've never tried the automatic leveling? maybe I should? 😸

This was taken on the southbank of the Thames near St Mary's church London.
