Gannet pair – This is another image from a sequence which I re-discovered recently. The previous image that I posted from this sequence went on to become one of my most popular Instagram images of 2017 and it still fascinates me to this day what images people seem to connect with and which they are perhaps more ambivalent. I personally find gannets to be extraordinarily beautiful birds but large, relatively accessible and popular gannet colonies like those found on Bass Rock or Bempton cliffs means that these birds are extremely well photographed and by a great many people. As such it becomes even more important to try and produce something new, unique or dramatic but the pursuit of such drama means that too often we can overlook the simple or the obvious. Would I now I wonder have given these two birds the required time for such simple beauty to have found a way to shone through. I hope so but I do feel that I am one of those photographers who can often need quite a lot of time to find the images that I perhaps want to try and capture. Maybe this is because I have worked my local patch for so long that, indulged by time I’m able to allow the images to simply drift into my mind. I’ve also always been a bit of a wanderer, someone who likes to explore or to simply sit and watch, often for hour upon hour and this I’ve always felt is one of the best ways that we can pick up on the subtle nuances in our subjects behaviour. All being well I will be returning to this gannet colony this coming summer and it will be wonderful again to see how the colony has grown and developed over time. Though I have spent many hundreds of hours photographing these elegant birds I have never tired of it and I intend to make sure that I have plenty of time, and to remember the importance of noticing the little moments, like this epitome of elegance and grace.
