Artist's Comments

thought i would submit a happier pigeon picture after Death.

got a few shots of these guys at breakfast, but i think this one of them finally leaving is the best one. i just lay there on the sand and they forgot all about me and came really close. this is at ~17mm so you can imagine. not the strongest composition, but they took off so suddenly and i had just one click.

eos 3. 17-40L at ~17mm. trix 400.

fullview for the beauty of trix film :)

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-01-01

Alive by *carvinganish I think I'm a sucker for bird photos. Dunno. The different stages of flight of all of the different birds really got me. Then I full-viewed it. Not only ... this deviant uses FILM!!!!!! Good on him! ;) (Suggested by `northengirl and Featured by `cweeks)

this photo caught my eye! love it!


your photo death, may be removed my deviantart staff as it has a dead animal. just warning you :) and dont be angery at them ;) they had trouble with a guy posting photos of dead bunnies a few years ago, one rule for one has to be the same for another :) thought i'd let you know.

Serene... the beauty of Tri-X is revealed in full view, as you said. The horizon's a bit tilted but the sheer contrast of the pigeons against the cloudy sky makes up for it. Nice!

i dont think the compo is the strongest...but not because the horizon is tilted...such "rules" are ok when you're shooting landscapes for landscape sake...but it wouldn't bother me here..

this is pretty cool, especially being so wide. they musta been practically crawling on you. and tri-x rocks. i still like ilford, but tri-x is still indeed quite magnificent.

yeah, im still trying to figure out which i like better...since i don't process myself yet, i haven't noticed any nuances just the general look and feel...currently i use both delta 400 and trix...just depends on the day :)

I know that you say that it's happier... but I immediately thought of something somber when I saw this, without having previously seen "death" XD Very nice shot tho! I love how you captured them! I know how hard it is to catch birds in motion XD

hmm, actually it is kinda sombre isn't it? i wouldn't have called it alive if it weren't for the death shot..

Now that I view it a second time, I think the tilted horizon does help - it enhances the motion of the birds' flight.
