Description
"Early Morning Crossing",...or, "Follow that Bird".
Looking up at the pilot house of the 328 foot Issaquah Class ferry, Kittitas, that connects the two towns of Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington.
That gull is moving...the ferry is traveling at close to 16 knots (18mph, 30kph).

Fantastic capture, Bill!
Excellent POV and capture!
Meravigliosa capture and fantastic tone colors...super image...Bravissimo..!!!!!
I've seen gulls come down and take handouts from people in flight while the ferry was moving...handouts from the hand. They have gotten very good at shadowing the movements of the ferries (amazing what food training can do, isn't it?) I like this in mono, it's very dramatic!
It just needs a string, than it would look like it is pulling the boat :-D! Beautiful capture though :)
Very lovely capture Bill, that bird can really go, lol.
I think Helle and I are sharing the same brain. I looked for a little cable to see if the gull was actually pulling the ferry! Gulls are pretty strong you know! And yeah, they're pretty fast too! I really like this capture, by the way, the stark monochrome is deliciously moody. I love the shapes, the porthole window thingies, and those nicely wispy clouds. All in all, this is an excellent shot! Great POV too.
Great shot. Sometimes you need to wash you clothes after the seagulls flying above you. Best to stay inside with them flying overhead.
TERRIFIC SHOT AND PERFECT POSTWORK!
Dramatic in b&w.
See, I was going to ask how much you paid the gull to pose like that! Great shot, and I love that you chose a monochrome theme for this. Those clouds over the wheelhouse are spectacular, and the gull looks almost like it's glowing! Fantastic work, Bill!
Terrific POV and lighting effects in what looks like something right out a black and white science fiction movie such as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Bill. Not exactly the Good Ship Lollypop.
Fantastic scene and mood!
those gulls flock to ferries like flies on watermelon. superb in b/w
