Frenzy
Last evening of our workshop, we played with the Gulls a bit, these were baited with some plain bread. All it takes is a bite, and they really go for it. Cropped a bit from left and bottom, processed with Nik Color Efex Complete filters: Sunshine, Tonal Contrast and Brilliance/Warmth. Two half individuals evicted form the right.
Time: 6:28:38 AM
Model: Canon EOS 50D
Lens (mm): 100
ISO: 500
Aperture: 20
Shutter: 1/40
Not a big fan of blurs (I often have to strain too much to figure out what I am looking at!) - or gulls- but, obviously, when done superbly, as here, I must scratch my head and rethink! Beautiful job, Fabs. The birds are great, in various blurs, with different birds, in different positions, and I like the crop. I really like the look of the water as well. The only criticism - not my image! :)
Fabs:
Nice choice on the shutter speed, enough blur to strengthen the sense of action/frenzy, but enough detail to hold my interest. I like the group of four gulls on the horizontal midline that almost looks like a multiple exposure of one gull, time lapse style.
Neat.

What I like best about this is the careful framing with no birds cut off by the frame edges.

Neat shot Fabs. I really like the color tone. Also interesting to study the different shapes and level of detail in the birds (ex, no wings on the one in upper right, no head on the one in upper left).
You taught me well :)Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
Thanks, guys!
Very artistic with beautiful action and light!
Very well composed and thought out Fabs... Love it.
I really like the sense of motion this conveys, cool shot Fabs:cool:
Great work Fabs, really loved the overall feel to the frame..
Very interesting, shows nicely that there are no boring subject...
I like the colors here the most, very nice blue.
This is super Fabs! Absolutely love the movement in this image, emphasizing the frenzy!

Excellent gull picture shows their feeding frenzy great colors
an eye catcher. Lots of laughing, huh? Must have been fun to set this up. The result is fantastic.
Almost missed this one. really good creative OOTB work here Fabs. the right way to capture the scene. Its like best of photography and video shooting worlds. Appropriate SS used. you can see the frenzy and yet see the definition of the gulls. Water not too disturbed. perfect execution of the vision.
