Feeding the birds
Now for something completely different. As you all know by now I have a new camera and I’m slowly getting used to it which means lots of experimentation. I’m having a great time learning.
Here’s some more. Feel free to choose 😀

Spot the bread in this first one?

Great photos and I do see the bread. 🙂
Thanks eof and well spotted… 😉
I really like the final shot…great sense of movement and being so close to the gulls pulls you right into the picture…
Winner!
Thank you Stuart.. I really like these photos even though they aren’t particularly in focus!
Serious comment here…(I know thats not normal for me)…but I think focus is vastly overrated….Some subjects do need to be really crisp but often you get a greater sense of what a shot is all about when its either deliberately or accidentally out of focus…If these gulls were completely frozen the shot would seem stiff whereas there is such a great sense of their chaotic movement in the way you’ve taken it…
Works for me!
Completely agree about the birds.. I was thinking more of the little girl being a bit more in focus. I like it when you’re serious by the way.. I agree too about focus.. often lack of foucus adds more charm and depth as well as atmosphere.. It can make a picture more real
Yep…..
wonderful images. i chose the first, because of the composition and color. but they are all wonderful..
I love to read peoples preferences.. I love the sepia one because it is morte secretive somehow…not being able to see the child’s face.
oh yes and i can see that bread.. ; )
These are delightful! Whimsical. Yes, I see the bread, the movement there is great, and with Stuart, the last one has great depth of movement, too.
but as I say above I like the sepia one Scilla just because it’s a bit more mysterious somehow…not being able to see the child’s face
What a wonderful fairy tale feel to these photos!
Thank you Elena.. I love them even though the girl isn’t really in perfect focus 🙂
poor ducks; they sure are outnumbered here. Lively.
They didn’t stand a chance Marleen !
second one is my favourite Helen xx
Mine too Lisa..Is it obvious that I’m in Love with sepia at the moment? 😉
Oh wonderful, I find this a bit magical Helen!
Flight and movement swooping and graceful. Lovely.
Thank you Karen…sometimes the ones completely unplanned work out.. you know when you just happen to be there and see something and have to react quickly..
i love them all 🙂
Thank you daba.. I find it hard to choose sometimes which is why I post 3 !!
