The Fast and the Pigeons II

The Fast and the Pigeons II

Shot with Canon T90; Kodak Film ISO 400 :c)
I placed the camera on the ground and had it on slow shutter speed. We pretended to have some breatcrumbs and waited for the pigeons to gather around us. Once they were there, my friend clapped loudly so they would sore. I pressed the shutter, right into the pigeons.
I hadn’t completely focused on the buildings, more on the pigeons in the foreground, meaning, the buildings aren’t tack sharp – in the beginning, this picture was more an accident, but now I actually think it works better that way as it adds to the seemingly chaotic motion of the birds :)

    brilliant dynamic image….I love the birds in this, some in focus, some almost not there… some sitting still, some erupting into motion….. probably like the people who inhabit this place too?
