While photographing the unloading of a fishing boat in Fort Bragg’s harbor, I could not help but hear the screeches of some very angry gulls. I used a 400mm telephoto lens and significant cropping in post-processing to zoom in on the furious protagonists. I initially thought that 1/250th of a second shutter speed would be fast enough to stop the action, but these gulls proved me wrong. Their wings were moving in a blurred frenzy, probably a squabble over a stray piece of fish. I liked the blur so much that I did not even try to stop time here. I preferred to use a “time-extended” approach to intensify the energy that was exploding before me.
