Birds at Dusk

This was taken at Lymington in the New Forest. I was just about to get in the car when I noticed the sun was creating some stunning colours. I walked up to the top of the town and by the time I got there it was like the sky was on fire! I took a few shots leaning my camera against a lamp-post as I coud only get a slow shutter speed.

Suddenly this flock of birds flew up from the building and I just shot away hoping to get something atmospheric. This just proves that blurred subjects can work to great effect at the right time. Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Birds at Dusk

Yup, I agree. I wish I had taken a static shot just of the building to nick it from as it would have been good. I left it in though because it had a glazed front which reflected the colours of the sky so felt it added to it.

Oh well, can't have everything I guess

Re: Birds at Dusk

Nice effect, Rob. Have you tried one with the building blurred, too? Mind you, if you did, I guess everyone would just think it was a blurred shot that did not get binned! As you say, you can't win them all.

Re: Birds at Dusk

Surely that gives you an excuse to go back and do it again, possibly with a tripod.

LOL, well, I could but I can't guarantee to get the birds all to come back or to get that sunset sky.... don't see too many of those that's for sure! Ah well, it was just because it was there really, I'll see if I can improve it by taking pic of a clock face. We'll see, nopt promising anything

Cheers,
Rob
