WRIFs (Winged Rats in Flight)

Phil U.

First attempt at birds in flight. I must admit this was cheating though - I was on a ferry and they were flying along with us.

They did good at keeping up with the ferry, and you "nailed" them!

ginger (good, excellent clarity!)

Very nice Phil, I like the first one best, captured the eye very well.

Nice job, Phil. You did well with the exposure of the white birds.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Nice series, Phil. That wouldn't by chance be the outerbanks and the ferry from/to Ocracoke? Some of those WRIFs look familiar.

Thanks Dixie - you've either seen this thread or you're a very good guesser

Nope, I hadn't seen the other thread - thanks for the link.

Last summer I shot the lighthouses on the outer banks (will post some later) and took the ferry from Ocracoke headed south on the way to shoot Cape Lookout lighthouse. The angles, etc. on the gulls just reminded me of my trip to a T along with the photos of the WRIFs that I took.

Of course your avatar of Bodie Lighthouse is a pretty good hint as well.

Phil,

Here are my lighthouses from the outer banks.

Yea - I suppose that could be a clue
