Pigeon

Pigeons are kindof everywhere, generally though of as flying rats, not the most beautiful of birds, but I have enjoyed some recent observations of them. This one was foraging a gutter for twigs, (for building it's nest?). It flew off with a twig.

Nabbed a 70-200 for the weekend. Enjoying the flatness.

Pigeons

I've had it in mind to try and shoot pigeons in flight for a while now, After being called in to work this morning I thought I'd make the best of it and brought my camera along.

So this morning I decided to give another try at the abandoned construction project. As I hoped I found a way up to the higher floors (including access to the roof)

I previously stated the possibility of squatters here, but after exploring it thoroughly I'm convinced to quite the opposite, abandoned office chairs, coolers, and freshly scrawled graffito adorn the walls and rooms.

between trapped pigeons and overgrown plants, this huge structure has become a relic in living neighborhood.

It's becoming a bit apparent to me that I'm shooting a lot at night, but more than likely thats because 5 days a week I'm inside all day. However I'm finding that always having a camera (that can shoot in nearly any light condition) with me allows me to find pictures almost anywhere. The first image is breaking down a bit, but I definately enjoy the composition.

a little something

I took this on a walk to the L the other night. I was going to wait until I had some work to compliment it, because I'm not sure how powerful it is on its own. There is something I do like about it though. I managed to make Nicole colors somehow.
