Bird on the Wing

Took this shot a while back, but never posted it. I like how the sunlight highlights the feathers in the gull's wings.

I had planned to post a shot from Saturday night's Billy Joel concert at the Hollywood Bowl - which was spectacular - but when I went in through security, they confiscated my camera! Said no cameras allowed with an interchangeable lens! Point and shoot or camera phones were ok??? Never has that happened. So, I tried using my iPhone but the shots were awful from my third tier seat. C'est la Vie.

Wow, really cool bird shot! Yes, they are getting pretty nasty with big cameras......I almost had mine confiscated entering the DJ pool party in Vegas, but I got away with it! They actually asked me if I could take videos with it.....as if I cared....and, as if everyone was not taking videos with their smartphones!

Love the way you've captured the light coming through the bird's feathers.
