The sparkling drops of water flew through the air. Between the sound of seagulls and waves was the sound of a shutter clicking. Once, twice, thrice. It'd click repeatedly and repeatedly on the sprays of the waves. Had to make sure they were all in focus. That the shutter speed was fast enough. And most of all, that the spray just plain ol' looked good.
I can't help but think of one of my favorite bands when I see this picture. Mono, a post-rock band from Japan, has a song "Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn". I can't really call it lyrically inspired, though, as the song has no lyrics. Either way, I love this silhouette against the sunrise.
I frequently relax by listening to post-rock bands. This has a few effects if I do so while working on photography. Photographs worked on tend to take on a more abstract look, and the titles tend to be... Longer. Many bands in post rock have sentence-length song titles. Anyway, I relaly felt like one was fitting for this photograph. Despite being clearly a nature photograph of birds, it has a very distinct appeal.
