Seagull Sees Sea?

[inmotion]

(sorry for the dumb title, but I'm overly tired from my trip)

I was on the west coast this past weekend and while eating on the patio of a restaurant my brother noticed this seagull pacing the low roof next to us. He kept peering over the edge at us - a couple times we thought he'd tip over and fall on our table. It was hysterically funny - you just had to be there. Of course, I couldn't resist taking a picture :) Anyhow, in the photo he looks more like he's looking off in the distance than looking at us ... and fwiw the photo is uncropped - that's really how close he was (ok, ok, I did have a zoom lens...but he was close!)



PS Thanks to the airlines these days - my flights were all delayed and I got in at 2 am last night so I really am tired!

You exposed for the whites just right-what a close up shot!
Gotta love air travel...

It was sheer luck that it got exposed correctly!!! I didn't take the time to stop and check any settings - I just grabbed camera and took 2 pics - this is the one that turned out.

I have over 250 photos from the weekend - about 200 are of my brother, his fiance and then their wedding. I wish I'd had more time to just go out and walk on the beach and take pictures. I really gotta buy Photoshop soon - trying to go through all these photos is getting depressing because there is not a heck of a lot I can fix with the simple programs I have. Ah well. It still was a fun trip :)

Wow, you even made it look kind of noble!

Nice image and story.....I dont fly anymore because of the incompetent way the airlines operate.....Still waiting on my lost luggage and its been 8 years! However, it is cheaper then gas these days.
