Shell Drop


Shell Drop
Originally uploaded by Canon Fodder
Well I got lucky! There was one date on which the World Fireworks Competition is held that I could attend; last Sunday! I'll post pictures once I've sorted them out; I got very trigger happy. Anyway I was walking down the promenade to find a suitable spot to set up the tripod. I was keeping one eye on the sunset, as it was turning out to quite a good one. But kept noticing that the seagulls were all flying around with shells in their beaks. Puzzled I watched closely as the bird circled above my head before dropping its shell and immediately diving after it. With the crack the shell made the penny, as well as the shell, dropped. The gulls were smashing the shells open on the foot of the sea wall. Now while I'm sure the whelks were not very happy about this I hope you'll agree it made for a nice photograph.
