Birds feeding at the sea in Abashiri | Original Photo Print

I’m addicted to long exposure photography, and most of the times I don’t like to include “living” elements in my images: in this case I made an exception. I was shooting the waves at the beach in Abashiri during a very calm morning, and there were hundreds of seagulls feeding by the beach. I thought they would complement the scene in a really nice way, but I didn’t want them to be too much recognizable, but simplify them into lines and shapes. The long exposure, combined with the compression of my telephoto lens, really helped here in making the wave very prominent, blur the birds into lines and give an overall 2D element to the frame.
