Today I had to solve some issues at the bus station. When I was about to return home, I saw a seagull on the telegraph pole.

Our city is located 9 hundred kilometers from the sea, but there are a lot of gulls in the surrounding lakes. I have seen many different lakes, but I only see gulls here.

So, I wanted to take a picture of her, but the sun prevented me. I will tell you how I fixed this problem. But the result was this shot.

This bird is like the emblem of Rolls-Royce, the goddess Nick, who spread her wings.

As I already said. the sun bothered me. Red touch spots appeared on the screen, I didn’t want to spoil the picture.

Stob, on which the seagull sat, was located near the retaining wall, to which buses were parked. The gap, between the bus and the retaining wall, was the only place that protected my lens from the sun.

But, this place was close to the post.

n addition to this, the seagull turned away from me, I managed to get upset several times that I would not be able to make an interesting picture.

But, suddenly, the bus, which stood nearby, with a roar started its engine. The seagull rose to its feet and spread its wings. This was the moment of truth!

I understand, this is a trifle, just a bird, but, as a former hunter, I know the price of patience and an accurate shot.
