CommentThis is my first photo after the Zoom presentation about In Camera Movement using a very low SS. I saw Silver Gulls flying past over the lake. I swung around quickly and took 3 photos. Only one showed some indistinct blobs in the bottom corner. I did not denoise but used the object mask which only picked up the bottom 4 birds. I inverted the mask and darkened the background with more saturation. The top left was not the sky but was totally blown out so I made a sky mask to bring some colour in. This is a creative photo with atmosphere.
