With each of these images my heart stops a beat and makes the jump into the world beyond.

Or to be more precise, these images come from sweet near death experineces.

This was a two minute exposure a few minutes after sunrise. I used a 10-stop ND filter to get a 2 minute exposure. The presence of birds or humans is usually serendipitous with this long exposures. At this time of day, it's usually birds. The gulls were rather patient, and put in at least 80 seconds or more before taking off. Then it's just a matter of waiting for the gulls to wander back in to the scene.
