2 different ways to fly Photo

Photographer’s Note

Helicopter and seagull, flying high above the Stockholm marathon. Just a funny observation on my way back home this very warm day.

Hello Boa! Two days ago we almost hit a bird so this can be reality if you fly :))) but normally it goes smooth without any major event ... I love your idea with just sky and some stuff moving up there, especially the bright red makes a nice contrast in the blue. Wish the blades would make some movement, the helicopter stands still ... but I know how it is, you want to be fast and forget to check the speed. Nice catch in any case, love your title, best regards, Barbara.

Hi Boa,

a fantastic view of the helicopter and the seagull. I hope they didn't do a crash just some seconds afterwards as they seem to be posing for you ;-)

Cheers,
Edi

Hello Boa,

What very nice moment the seagull to the right and helicopter to the left.
The strong blue sky care for a nice picture.
Nice composition and pleasant picture for look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,

Bonjour, cher Boa,
Bravo pour avoir su saisir ce moment étonnant entre deux oiseaux dans ce ciel d'un bleu si pur !
La beauté de l'image n'est pas exempte de poésie.
Amitiés.

Hej Boa,
VERY curious observation, very nice capture - what a funny comparison :)
Frankly speaking, I think it's better to fly as a bird: it will never run out of fuel (unlike a helicopter) :)
bästa hälsningar,
Elena

Hi Boa,
Well seen and composed. It's apparently very simple and easy to get, but the thing is that it takes a great sense of observation and opportunity to get a shot like this.
Regards,
José

Hej Boa,
A really lucky shot. It's wouldn't be easy to catch them both in the same frame, not even to make the observation. A very attractive and minimalistic composition.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hello Boa,
The simultaneous presence of the two “birds” in this configuration of meeting is rather funny. The setting rate of sight is perhaps a little large and gives the impression of a helicopter with the stopped rotor, fixed on an invisible wire. The colors are superb, as well as clearness. cheer.
Have a nice sunday
