I've tried to photograph seagulls with manual focus by setting the focus and
the trying to catch a bird as it passes through the focus zone. It sounds
like it might be easy but it is actually very hard trying to predict when the
bird was going to be in focus. My most successful seagull photos happened
when the were trying to fly against the wind and were basically stationary
relative to me. The one I have on the internet was shot when the sun was
setting.
