Cool picture otd

I love the Kodak Perigrine Falcon Cam. This picture today really caught my eye. Not sure how it happened.

Note: Originally I had did this picture using something cut and pasted from Shaky’s Unofficial Perigrine Falcon Cam Archive. But the thumbnail didn’t work right. The wierd thing was it did work if I cut and pasted the URL into my browser, or if I saved the whole page as HTML and opened that in my browser. Have a look:

On the drive home from Ottawa, there is a field that you suddenly come across that has these gigantic crow sculptures in them. The first time you see them there is sort of a “oh crows…OH MY GOD HUGE FUCKING CROWS…oh they’re fake” moment. Yesterday, in spite of the pouring rain and fading light, I got out to take some pictures of them.

I need to sort though these pictures a bit more and maybe do some cleanup in Photoshop, but I was hoping the overcast and rain would make a more eeeerie effect, and it did. I need to come back with a manual focus camera, though, because a couple of times I wanted one crow framed by another, and the camera I was using tended to focus on the near one (or the grass growing under it) instead.
