Corner Hangout

[Amy Nelson]

I was traveling down a dirt road with not a whole lot to look at on either side. As I approached a "intersection" there were about 50 black birds having a block party up on the powerline.

Wow Amy! That is crazy! With so many you would think they would accidently touch a different wire and get blown up! Good job on stopping, and I like the look of the B&W conversion.

I like both of these too. I like the long line of black birds in #1, but I also like the pattern in #2.

European Starlings - pretty amazing when they all descend on your bird feeders at once too. Quite the show when they are clustered together like this. I like your processing for these guys.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nice exposure. Black birds are difficult to expose

 

[Jameel Hyder]

A touch of Hitchcock with these images. The almost high key effect works well

Yeah, kinda freaks me out too.

I think that would be a little intimidating. I had about 300 land in my Hay field the over day, it was very interesting watching their coordinated wave movements.

Thanks Ben!

Even the squirrels run away when a starling mob descends. They do spook and fly off when the crows, woodpeckers, or blue jays swoop in for their turn at the various feeders in our back yard.

Very neat!

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

These are really eye catching Amy, I like them both!

I don't know how you did it, you took a random boring scene and made it ART! Beautiflly done.

 

[Amy Earl]

I really like this. So artistic!
