This is an exported image from a video I shot several years ago on a Canon HV-40 camcorder. I was walking home at dusk after spending the afternoon shooting video at the beach. This lonely-looking sailboat in the harbor caught my attention and I worked as quickly as I could to set up my tripod while the last of the evening light faded. The birds, flying low over the water, came past the boat just after I turned on the camera. The audio track reveals the sound of me gasping with delight at their unexpected appearance. Lucky shot.
