can't believe you still have birds. it's january, they should be south by now. great mix of tones, glamour glouw and grain.

These gulls are not migratory. Neither am I, for that matter.

These gulls are not migratory. Neither am I, for that matter.

all of the gulls around here are gone, except for the odd ones that circle all day around the landfill, easily identified because they have two heads and glow in the dark.

I got quite a haul from this roll. Really liking this combination of camera, film and processing.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Once again superb. These work well and I've tried this when in Mevagissey harbour, but failed dismally. Great photos Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. You need to get yourself a proper camera

 

[Peter McCullough]

Love the effect, it's wonderful. Fantastic artistic work. Respect my man.

When's your exhibition happening ??

 

[Brian Moore]

You really have an eye for the birds, Rob.

That second one especially is a real stoater!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, guys. Exhibition? Nothing in mind. I have a wall in the house where a dozen or so of my pictures have been framed, and my students walk by it every time they visit. On one occasion, one of them looked at a picture and said, "What's THAT meant to be?!" Oh well...more scales for you, mate!

 

[Pete Askew]

A couple more stunning images there Rob. This appears to be a winning combination!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I'm pleased that, after all the hassle I had getting one of these cameras, that it seems to have been worth the trouble.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

They take you beyond the actual experience of being there and seeing them - more of a feeling of the flock moving - very cool

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Chris. The flock mind...a scary thing

Thanks, Chris. The flock mind...a scary thing

- What like soft and slightly fluffy to the touch.

I see that you have found your zone again, Rob; we never doubted that you would for an instant. Very cool, in fact I love everything that I have seen you post recently and these two are no exceptions.

Merci, Paul.
