Last years swan song

Further browsing through my image database brings a lot more to light. This young swan was just as curious about me as I was about him and let me get close… last spring. Speaking of which: Dany’s Dream Collection called. They want their poster swan back! 😉

  

young hering gull

A little experiment taking this gull into the dark. The Idea is not from me, though. German PROFIFOTO Mag featured the work of Stefanie Müller (haven’t got the mag and this is quite a usual name in Germany, so no link here, sorry), who took animal portraits out of the context, namely their surrounding and put it into dim light. I was flashed by those images and tried it myself. So here’s my first attempt, using a young hering gull that I shot this summer on Sylt. The image wasn’t that sharp which keeps it from getting that brilliant look I aimed for. I’ll keep trying.
