Birds in Motion - Sunday at the Atlantic Pier

It started out as a sad day for photography when I realized that there were no clouds in the sky, it was colder than anticipated and everything was flat, even the color. Then I snapped out of it and realized I was in paradise and it is impossible to not always have subjects to shoot. So with my 11-17 Tokina lens I crawled on my belly through the sand to get close enough to the Flock of mystery sea gulls in order to capture the first shot. After that I found even the pigeons were wonderful models. Turned out to be a fantastic day for learning and getting some of my favorite bird photos.
