The photo was taken with an unusual lens TTArtisan 250mm f/5.6. It's a manual reflex lens with fixed aperture. So capturing with it bird in flight is an extremely difficult task. But in proper scene with good luck it can produce images with unique bokeh and style. I caught the photo of a seagull taking off in the glow of sunset reflected in the waters of the lake. In the magical fugitive moment the delicate fine bird looked to me a fairy creating the golden magic.

I am a dedicated photo artist, known in photographic circles as Ritam. I have a deep focus on nature photography, especially birds. My work has earned prizes and recognition in international contests. As a poet, I compose poems inspired by my images, blending photography and poetry into a harmonious synthesis. My photo-poetic exhibitions have been showcased in Russia, India, and beyond. My main aim and inspiration is to share in the living communion with the sublime, all-embracing soul of the universe, with the beauty of the world as Her grand, miraculous expression, and our own soul of beauty and harmony as Her living particle.
