About The storks circle up over Tarifa and prepare to cross the Straits of Gibraltar, to spend the winter in Morocco.

I caught these guys from my terrace this afternoon. Hope they made it. The levante has eased off so they stand a good chance. But the birds of prey were hovering below, waiting for the weaker ones to fall...

John, This is an excellent capture. I am a bird lover and my favorite bird is called the magnificent frigrate that comes to Florida from the Dry Torgugas. This reminds me of the day I saw flocks of them soaring high but they were too far away to capture. This is wonderful. Interesting about as well. Thanks for your comment on my "lagoon" photo.

This is surprisingly effective after seeing the thumbnail. What makes it work is the clearly defined shapes of the individual birds. Good idea, the b/w conversion.

Best regards,

Really strange one, and did the best by removing the blue color of the sky..
Well done, nice job...

I'm glad you responded on one of my other photos, because after that I went to your portfolio. Quite the collection!

I'll have to experiment with the whole drops thing. I also liked the pencil shavings.

I'll try out your suggestion on posting times as well.

Thanks.

Terrific John, minimalist in colour and subject matter yet full of life ad movement. The birds make a random pattern in the frame which could hardly be better if you had cut and pasted them all yourself! Makes a great abstract and also a graphic study of the storks in flight.

AJ Miller AJ Miller   {K:49168} 8/17/2005
Thanks for your comment, Dylan. The birds tend to circle up around midday, so capturing the colours is quite tough. I therefore decided to convert to B&W and push up the threshold using PSP9.

Just wondering, did you up the contrast in photoshop for this?

I like the the lack of center of interest, and the shear number of birds makes for an intersting picture.
