Two quick and contrasting shots from today…
The first is a young herring gull in an unusually playful pose.
The second, a contrast of subject and colour, was taken this evening in the garden. I was photographing the slug and didn't notice the tiny snail in the left of the frame until I'd uploaded it to the computer.
Camera note: first shot taken with the Canon 7D EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens; the second with the EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

22 Aug 2011Darko, I didn't have much to photograph last night, but I liked the colours in that second shot. The composition was a bonus.

22 Aug 2011Adele, it was very odd behaviour, as though it knew how to duck down (as they do) but had no idea how to stabilize itself once under the water. It did this several times.
