This shot might be a bit of a cliché, but the glow of the morning sun coming through the fog on Chiemsee in Bavaria really adds a special atmosphere.
If you go to popular walks early enough in the morning there is still wildlife there to be seen. Once the hoards of people and their dogs arrive the birds tend to hide. However being out early is always good for photography.
Gannets are the most beautiful birds on the planet. End of story. Some day I need to get to a breeding colony to see and photograph their 'dance'.
The juvenile gannet isn't as beautiful as an adult but the face and eye is starting to get that distinctive look.
Shooting birds in flight is pretty difficult. As they move the background moves in ways determined by the bird and not you. However after following certain birds for long enough you see where they are going and as the gulls kept flying towards the sun I managed to get the sun reflecting nicely in the water below.
