Last stop of our recent UK trip to south coast before returning to London, was the magnificent Winchester Catherdral. I was particular attracted by the red door of the Cathedral. Perhaps, the lighting effect on the pattern of the red door caught my attention more than the architectural beauty.
From the window of Eng Loy’s residence in London, I captured this image of the backyard. During my two recent visits within three months, I saw the changes of seasons (winter to spring). The fully blooming tree shows that spring is obviously has arrived. What attracted me was the pair of birds always one follows the other. By observation, I realize that both birds always perched on the same spot.
This image reminds me of “A Silver Lining” posted in 2004. The latest image is much easier to capture. Considering having autofocus and multiple frames per second for my digital camera, I think is an advantage of shooting birds in flight. More over, the gull that soaring for food ‘lock’ the extended wings by means of special tendon is much easier to capture. I am lucky to have a fairly good one to fill up my frame in full. I also think that the saturated blue sky added extra visual impact.
