Birds
I decided to add this section after a test shot with my Canon 40D inspired me to start chasing birds on the move. I find the blurry movements created by doing this fascinating, as they are full of life and light. The position of the wings can create very powerful images as well. We see birds al the time, but rarely are we able to see the full extension of a wing, or the shapes created as they travel through their complete movement up/forwards and down/backwards. How do wings look when bird lands or takes off? These are things we see every day, yet hardly ever really see at all. Sometimes a bird has a chance relationship with something or someone who was in the background, such as bathers on a beach, or a detail from either the bird or something else can be seen through the feathers: I think this makes them even more fascinating.
