Seagull Storm

The wind was blowing so hard as the storm approached. My wife was feeding the seagulls and they were just hovering over us. Made for some really neat shots with the Great Salt Lake and the storm in the background.

  • Cadence Gamache

    Cadence Gamache

    Wow… It really is an incredible capture. I’m not usually a fan of flash either, but you used it perfectly here. Aside from being powerful, the selective lighting lends the image a sort of pseudo- surrealism… It almost looks like a very realistic painting or a masterfully composited digital work. It’s so dramatic!!! Great work, thanks for sharing =]
