EOS R RF 70-200 @200 f4 1/4000 ISO 800 HH, Manual EXP
Going stir crazy while trying to stay safe, decided to try a local fishing pier hoping it wouldn't be crowded on a week night. There was a smattering of people fishing with plenty of room to keep social distance and surprisingly masks were used by just about all. I spent a wonderful couple of end day hours just taking in the sea breeze. On this evening the western sky was clear and the usual colors were reflected in the eastern sky. I wanted to try my first telephoto range RF glass for flight images even though the EOS R, with terrible EVF blackout, can make it difficult. Well, even with the fishers pulling in plenty, no gulls, no terns, not even pelicans on this evening (within range of my 200mm zoom). Only comical molting boat tail grackles trying to steal everyone's bait. Then, about 15 minutes before sunset with wonderful clouds to the east, this lone young laughing gull glided closely by. A small cherry on top of a wonderful evening...
