We decided to do our walk at the end of the day, earlier than usual. You have seen so many sunsets while we were walking because we waited until after dinner. For some reason we decided to walk before dinner. So it was nice, and there were less biting bugs, which I recently read come out closer to when the sun is going down. I happened to look up and see the sun being obscured by clouds and then showing through and then being obscured again. I used my toy camera and took about half a dozen images where you could see the sun't entire disk. And when I saw some gulls going through the picture near the sun I shot quickly trying to capture one. I think I got it perfectly! It was almost random, but it worked. For some reason I really like this photograph. Can't begin to tell you why, sorry to say.
The light sun and the black bird in a cloudy sky really pop. Great photo. Joan
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the sky are beautiful in this photo. Love the way you were able to catch the bird in the scene. Great photo! Trace
ReplyDeleteThank you both and glad you like this photograph. I was lucky with the birds. When I saw them getting close I shot quickly, and was lucky to get one in the right spot! There is a wonderful quote about this: "Luck favors the prepared."
