Birds under an overcast sky

In this post I uploaded some bird pictures  I took last Saturday in Attenborough. The weather wasn't all that bright that day, so most of the photos where taken  under a heavy and dull looking sky, which gave me the same kind of lighting.

Cloudy Sunsets

I guess any photographer has at least a couple shots of sunsets and clouds in his work. But photographing just clouds or just sunsets can get pretty dull and boring at a point. So what I tried to do here, was to merge both subject matters into a bigger more complex one. In order to create something more unique looking I emphasized the sky more than the land, leaving it just as a shadowy silhouette in the background.


[: Note :] Looking through the images again and again, I realized that there is a weird resemblance between  them and how girls use make up in order to point out some of their best features... like lips, eyes or cheeks.

 

 

 

 

Deer

This is a project I am currently working on. As you might have already guessed the main subject of my project are deer. I basically aim to photograph them through seasons and take side notes of their behaviour and how to approach them.

[: 6th of November 2010 :]

I started taking pictures of these deers in the afternoon, maybe 2 hours before sunset. The small herd consisted in 1 runt, 3  females and 1 or 2 fawns. Most of the time, I spent with them, they were mostly grazing. They didn't really feel threatened of my pressence, so I could get really close to them. At a point they started to feel uncomfortable when I started getting inside their circle of fear and they started looking around suspicious while they were slowly moving away. So I had to leave my tripod behind and start proning carefully towards them in order to stay close to them. Slowly one after another they started lying in the shade made by the nearby trees. At this point I thought I could get in even closer to get some better group shots of them while they were lying down, but the innevitable happened... some random people approached and scared them off.... oh well.. all good things come to an end, right? :p Meh... I was a bit upset for missing those last shots there, but I can't get everything I want from the first day hehe..

I will upload more photographs during the next couple of weeks, but untill then,  enjoy... :)
