So how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good actually, especially yesterday when we went down to Brighton for the afternoon with a friend. After the week we'd been having weatherwise I was starting to wonder if we were making a bit of a mistake heading to the coast but it was a beautiful day. It was chilly of course but nowhere near as freezing as I thought it would be. In fact we sat on the beach for ages and only left because we were getting hungry and felt in need of pizza.
I wasn't actually planning on taking many photos really as I always take so many down in Brighton but as the weather was so beautiful I found it hard to resist. I love this one of the seagulls just hanging out with West Pier in the background. I made the colours look a little bit retro too and I think it works quite well.

'Seagull' by Panorama Paul
I really want to take a fabulous seagull in flight photo but am failing miserably. I've had two trips to the sea in the past week or so and have done a lot of pointing my camera at the sky and clicking randomly when I see one coming! Unfortunately I've not had any success in capturing anything that's any good. I therefore headed over to Flickr to see how other people had got along and there are some awesome shots out there!
Take this one for example. The seagull has been captured beautifully. It looks so magestic and proud! I think think even without the bird it would be a fantastic photo but the seagull really adds a special something to it.
My quest is not over. I will still wander around staring at the sky when I hear seagulls over head. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
