Now this looks like where I live... We love to feed the gulls too. Sometimes they kind of scare me.

Thanks again for all the compliments. That old film camera just took the shot. I never would have gotten that effect with digital. I'm not that good!

Behind The Lens

Location

Florida coast

Time

mid-afternoon

Lighting

Natural lighting, positioning, and the right time of day make all the difference in the world.

Equipment

I took this with my first Instamatic I got at age 16. Long before digital.

Inspiration

My niece stepped out to feed the seagulls and they flew away. Just one heck of a lucky shot. Best shot I've ever taken.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

An expensive Nikon that I don't know how to use. And an extra battery. My "equipment" is my eye. I've learned to use outdoor lighting to my advantage. I focus on what I see as interesting: subject, mood, etc., and then on composition, angle, lighting, and color. I take 100 shots in hopes of getting that one perfect shot.

Feedback

Rely on instinct. And take a lot of shots
