Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Silhouette. A Ring-billed Gull watching the sunrise over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario.

#BrucePeninsula #BruceCounty #ECK #photography #birds #nature #wildlife #TenMinutesFromHome

A Ring-billed Gull standing on a rock sticking out of water in a bay. The bird is facing away from the camera looking towards the direction of the rising sun. The water fills 80% of the frame shading from orange pink at the top of the image to blue at the bottom.

Made with a decade old mirrorless camera and the plastic telephoto kit zoom.

Long exposure cloudscape for #Scape Friday. A two minute exposure of clouds moving over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario shortly before sunrise.

#BrucePeninsula #BruceCounty #ECK #photography #TenMinutesFromHome #LongExposureProject #ManualFocus

A long exposure of clouds moving over a bay. The clouds in the top half of the image are moving diagonally while the distant clouds above the horizon barely seem to be moving. There's an orange section of sky visible between the clouds just above the horizon. Water and a section of shoreline fill the bottom 30% of the image.
