Playful Light

 

Light, carrying the image, can become the image.


Ruddy Turnstone


It teases the camera to choose between subjects and mysteries.


Canada Geese


Accidents change places with intentions in the pursuit of sparks and shadows.


Sanderlings


These thwarted quests take scales off the eyes of a shoreline documentarian.


Gulls


The dynamics of the place black out actors and color the stage.


Waiting cormorants


Stillness settles on the arena as light rises in a chorus of visual pageantry.


Cormorants in flight


It dazzles the morning. In silhouette, birds animate the spectacle with purposeful life.


Gulls at sunrise


Flying birds enliven a glorious setting with their kinship to our organic sphere.


Gulls adorned


The early light seems to enjoy playing with its wakening subjects and surfaces as the dark hours give way to day.

  2. Martin, I love how you focused on the light and how it turns the birds into silhouettes. Even their simple black shapes say so much about their behaviors. And the last one of the gulls is exquisite!
