hey Steve, nice image, interesting little story well presented
may be 'humor' is American, ya gotta make some concessions
I'm more interested in Usefilm's idea that 1/250 is 'normal'

Steve, this is a terrific shot. I love the rippled water and the clarity of the birds. -- Debby

Very nice!
Did you have to wait for them to pose properly or was it just luck? ;-)
Soundly composed image with a fine idea behind it.

Total luck Alex!!
10 seconds later they all woke up to watch a swan sail past. I tried to photograph it, but the autofocus chose the swan & I didn't get the shot I would have liked.
Regards

I focussed on the middle bird. The metering mode would have been partial "()" and probably a little exposure compensation +2 clicks, I would guess, as it was into the sun.
Regards
Steve.

Perhaps it is to do with your deodorant !!!!! Fabulous and funny but such an excellent composition, so sharp and great DOF, you did well to get a feeling of so much colour, when you would have expected the gulls to almost blend in the with water

Hi Margaret,
Many thanks for all your comments. I think the word here is luck. As per the comments above, a few seconds later a swan sailed by & they all turned round to watch. I tried to capture but autofocus & inexperience meant a throw-away (this is the most common part of my 'work-flow' !!). My New Years Resolution, if I had one would be to throw away a bit less!

Beautiful shot. Can't think of any thing to say that hasn't been said already.
Autofocus can be a pain in the neck sometimes as you have noted. Sometimes I'm forced to switch to manual even if my viewfinder isn't optimal for the job.
