Pelicans Soaring Over Misty Ocean Waters
Monday, June 22nd, 2026 at 5:21:05 PM · 2026/Father's Day Camping
A flock of approximately eight to nine large seabirds, most likely Brown Pelicans, are captured in flight over a calm but overcast ocean. The birds are spread across various altitudes and distances, creating a dynamic sense of motion across the frame. The image was taken with a telephoto zoom lens combination (RF100-500mm with 2x extender) from what appears to be a coastal vantage point, possibly during a Father's Day camping trip. The heavy overcast sky blends almost seamlessly with the gray ocean horizon, creating a flat, moody, and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. Motion blur on several birds suggests the birds were moving quickly and the shutter speed may have been insufficient to fully freeze the action at this focal length.
