Scary seagulls

I sometimes try to compose photographs in such a way to make it look dark, mysterious, even scary. But sometimes such decisions are made in the post-production process or both. Birds can create this great scary effect in a picture and not only Hitchcock’s black crows can do that but also white seagulls – this is at least my personal opinion.

I’m not a person who gets very excited when photographing birds probably because I hardly even can come up with interesting and unique ideas and composition concepts for photography which includes birds. Therefore, I have a standard rule in such situations: make it scary and mysterious. That’s what I did when I was in Poland for my winter holidays. There were so many seagulls that I couldn’t pass them by without taking few pictures. If you visited you would know what I mean. The sheer population of the birds makes people who rarely take photos reach for their iphone 4, disposable or digital camera to take a few snaps. They are impressive, and beautiful. I have to admit that I’m not extremely happy with this photos but at the same time I don’t think that they are too bad – so I would like to share them with you :D

    Before I read your description, I thought it looked like a scene from the Hitchcock movie The Bird’s when I saw this! Excellent!
