Having just bought the Nikon 70-200 VR as a replacement for my old and quite used 100-300 you can imagine that I was really wanting to use it. Taking it along to my normal day-job in academia I decided to take it along for a walk during lunch time. Never expecting nice light in the middle of the day winter again surprised me. It was all really soft and gentle light. A joy to look at and use to photograph. Coming to a still open part of a small lake I spotted this group of seagull. They were just standing there, on the edge, looking at each other as if they were forgotten that they could fly. Quite a funny sight I must admit.
