I captured a few shots at the beach today and I was wondering what you guys thought. Feedback/comments more than welcome! :)

greed
guts

I love the guts one...

Funny how all the other ones are looking at the brave one, nice capture

thanks. yeh, I was lucky with my timing on that one. all the others look dumbfounded!

These are very nice.
My favorite of the two was greed. I like the air all around, the little yellow spark in the middle and the motion blurs. Very dynamic and fun.
The Guts photo made me laugh out loud though. I liked those idiotic expresions on the other gulls faces. Made me think of the stupid gulls from "Finding Nemo" movie... "mine? mine? mine?"

thank you for your comment :)
but seriously, it was hillarious, as soon as I threw out one french fry, every other sea gull in the vicinity was within a 15 foot radius of me

These photos are AWESOME. I thought of the nemo gulls too, perhaps that has something to do with your processing, it looks a bit cartoonish. Love these. Do you have more?

I liked them also. Can you descibe what post-processing you did in "Greed"?
04/03/2005 02:55:47 PM · #8
I have a couple more, and I'll put them up in a little while.
I think I need to go see "Finding Nemo" because at this point, I have no idea what either of you guys is refering to :-p

sure, can.
increased saturation, minor levels adjustment, USM, contrast, extra-saturation with tool on feet + beaks, moved the guy all the way on the right a bit higher than he was in the original, tight crop

very nice shots. i really like bird shots in action, and the first one is a very good one.

good work

hahah guts is a funny one! I just like the bird's expression.

thanks again for your comments.
the day before when we were at a different beach, the gulls there were even bolder and 5 or 6 of them at a time would try to grab food from your hand mid-flight! ... too bad I didn't have my camera on me then :-/
