Funky Fotos

.I enjoy taking photos of birds. But it can be frustrating. For example, it's frustrating when you get a bird nicely composed in the viewfinder and are just starting to take the photo when the bird suddenly flies off. When this happens, you are often left with a photo of an empty branch - the branch where there had been a bird a millisecond earlier. And sometimes you're left with a picture of a totally unrecognizable blur.

Yesterday I was going through my photo files deleting bad or duplicated pictures. As I was doing so, I found a few photos that I liked even though the birds in them had moved when I was photographing them. In some photos, the bird is still easily recognizable. In others, the image has become almost abstract.

Here are the photos. See what you think of them.

  1. Hi

    I know exactly what you mean, I got a lot of birdphotos like those, and I cant delete all of them, I think it is more art than birdphoto, :-), I like the Carolina Chickadee and Orange-crowned Warbler best of your "funkyseries"!

  2. Everything looks like that when I loose my specks, or I have to much scotch, or BOTH.
