Don't feed the birds

It did come out very well; it does need to be rotated clock-wise to make the sea horizon level to be perfect!

Thank you for taking time to view and comment, that would make sense, I will try it and see what it looks like, it was just such a surprise, I kind of saw the gull was going to come near but wasn't prepared for it to present itself so well. Quite pleased really! Thanks!

Most phone cameras have an easy to use edit function that you can use to rotate it; some even do it automatically if theres a visible horizon. W

Thanks very much, and you're right, I just found it, so may repost the image with the horizon corrected, that's really helpful, I looked yesterday but it wasn't obvious what the option was, now I can correct for future photos. Very helpful, Thanks, spellbound

On a trip up t' Norf, and calling in to gather sustenance at a local eatery, the lady at the next table, whose meal was on the table went to get some cutlery, down came the maritime vultures, and off went the sandwiches, all very amusing, if you're not paying, never mind the hygiene aspect. But anyway, back to the image, if this is what can be captured with mobile, well, it maybe, time to get a new one, however, how does it hold up in low light? long exposure situations?

[/quote] Hi, Thanks very much for the comment, I love those ridiculous situations, I have witnessed something similar in Thailand, a rather greedy person went to fill yet another plate from the buffet and left a plate of sausages on the table, down came what can only be described as two small mynah birds, they landed on the plate, as he watched helpless, hands full, weighing up his options (by this time the sausages were too tainted to rescue), they promptly snipped them up in their beaks(they were too big whole) and took turns flying off with them, the greedy guy looked shocked and filled with horror, holding two full plates of food, hopefully he learned from that? It was a Nokia 5, and to be honest I hadn't really set the camera up, so it was on basic settings, but has up to 13 MP camera (it wasn't set to that quality to take this pic), but I have since upgraded to a top notch Samsung, so hopefully my phone photos will improve. Plus I have now taken to using my mirrorless camera and enjoying that, will upload some more photos soon.
