The Cry of the Gull (2015-12-21)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything: partly due to me needing to get a new computer (RIP old Dell – you served me well); and partly due to work getting in the way of photography [shakes fist at employer]. So now that I’ve get my new PC set up, with the old “photos” hard drive installed, I can go raiding for something to process and upload.
This shot was taken on a windy day in New York over the Christmas period, when I went to stay with my family. The gull, like his brothers and sisters the whole world over, was on the hunt for any food he could steal from the two-legged creatures below. At the last moment, I think he realised that a Nikon is of little nutritional value.
Equipment: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 70-300mm @70mm, ISO 100, F32, 1/8 sec
Post-production: Cloned out sensor spots, minor adjustments to levels and contrast, and a healthy saturation boost.
