However, I do like some of the results I am getting. Besides, it gives me something else to think about and do while I am waiting for the wildlife to do what I [...]]]></description>

One way I have thought about practicing for this new avenue in my photography has been to practice on Gulls. The reason I chose The Gull family as practice dummies is simple. They do silly things, they are unpredictable and they actually transmit gesture [...]]]></description>

So I decided to share this image which is attempt at an intentional blur I made. I tried several different patterns by moving the camera during the exposure.

Fortunately I was able to meet up with Denise Ippolito just after Christmas for a day photographing Barnegat&#8217;s wonderful birds.
