birds with wings

here are a few pictures. i took them today. if you've been friends with me in any degree of closeness over the last few months, then you know that i've been nearly obsessed with getting a good picture of birds flying. thanks to brian werner, who took a series of the best pictures of birds flying, i might die if i don't accomplish this goal. unfortunately, all of the large black birds have already flown south (to the southside) by now. maybe i'm more aware this year, but it seems as if pittsburgh is the center of all bird migration. everyone flies through pittsburgh to go south.

i would not call any of these photos successes. but i like this one. the birds aren't really in focus, and you can't really see their shape. but i like the wavey line that they create. it breaks the photo up into interesting parts. i also like the sunsetting on the houses. so even though the birds don't look great individually, i like what they're doing as a whole.

um. the sun is awesome. and i think that you sort of get an idea of the birds as individuals in this picture. you can sort of see their shapes.


the sunset was nice. the birds look okay. what i don't like is when the birds just look like flakes of black lint on your computer screen. that's what's happened in this photograph and that's why i don't like it.


sun is great. birds look pretty good in this one. it's hard to upload photos onto this thing because the thumbnail is so small, i can't quite tell which ones are which :)


okay. so, i like the above picture. the bird isn't really that clear. the below picture is perfect to me. my problem is this: in above picture, all you see is the road. in below picture, there's a lame green car that's messing it up. so i feel frustrated because the below picture is almost the best thing that's happened to me in like 4 days, but the stupid green car is in the way. clouds look awesome either way.
