More Gulls

[Nonda Surratt]

Image is 4 gulls, full disclosure I moved the top gull a bit to the left to fit into the flight pattern, move first gull down a bit since it was jammed up with 2nd gull..APTATS-1 does make life easier and is fun to boot:D Thanks for your time and critique.

Such a cool idea !!!! Must feel good moving the gulls around Have to agree its fun !!!!

If you are up for more of this same project try having the second from the top with a semi flaring pose Would make for a better transition I like this a lot !!!!!

[Nonda Surratt]

Alfred are you saying swap the 2nd and 3rd bird? Thanks!! Being able to move birds really does open things up since they don't always cooperate:)

[Alfred Forns]

No Love the second bird !!!! I was thinking a transition pose between the second and third bird from the bottom With the wings starting to flair rather than a similar pose to the top one !!!!

I'm going to try something similar next week Should run into a ton of gulls All your idea !!! With the Nikon we can do up to nine exposures on the same frame!!! Will see what happens They can be straight or blended !!!

[Nonda Surratt]

Ok I get what you mean, I probably have a gull (maybe) that will fit in nicely from the same image. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!! 9 Exposures on the same frame would be quite cool.

i like the idea nonda. cant wait to see where this goes. your image needs a little cw rotation on the horizon also.

[George DeCamp]

A very nice idea Nonda! You made the changes really well too. Agree on the rotation, very cool image!

[Nonda Surratt]

Thanks George and Harold, will try and get something together on this in a day or two

NOW I thought I straightened the top blue band? Not enough?If I straighten the bottom blue (distance between them isn;t the same end to end) the top looks funny..Suggestions please?

Cool idea and nice work in the post processing. I like the multi-layered BG.
