Shot on 8mm film in 1972, this vintage home movie captures seagulls gliding and skimming across the deep blue waters of Isle Royale, Michigan. The birds’ white feathers contrast sharply with the rippling ocean surface, their wings occasionally dipping into the water as they forage. The footage exhibits natural film grain and a slightly faded color palette typical of Super 8 home movies from the era, evoking a sense of quiet coastal life. The camera remains steady, observing the birds’ effortless movements across the waves, creating a serene and nostalgic slice of nature footage.
