This is one of my favourite photos from the other day when we headed out to New Brighton over the long weekend
I got a whole bunch of footage I'm quite happy with, but what I loved the most from this set was all the photos I got of the seagulls being able to literally hover at a fixed point in space with their wings outstretched, due to the really strong winds out there that afternoon (which seemed to really pick up by the time we were halfway along the pier)
With this particular photo, I'd been taking photos of the gulls just hanging in the air, and then I hear + see this AirNZ jet starting to turn in for a northern approach, so i knew I just had to try and line them both up together in a frame together... somehow! 😂
Here's another that I really liked:
It was a really cool moment where these three gulls (or was the big one an albatross even?) were fighting against the strong winds to try and get down enough to be able to pilch the stinky fishhead from the bin. They were really struggling to get down, hovering in mid air, perfectly still + fixed in space... I've never quite seen anything like in real life (though it did remind me quite a bit of that scene from Dreamworks' short film "Bilby"!)
