Pigeon Photography


A couple of years ago, I went through a stint of photo-taking, and took a ton of photos in a ton of subjects.

It was a matter of time till I got around to doing pigeon photos.

The black and white ones are from a series I did.

From Washington DC:



The black and white ones were higher contrast because I didn't have a fantastic camera, and I was aiming for more of the shape against the bland gray background of the painted concrete.

Delia,

Those are great photos. I especially like the first one of the lone pigeon strolling down the walkway.

I love them
That first shot looks like a pigeon that really knows just where he's going.
Very nice textures. And those DC pigeons look a lot busier than most of the two-legged non-winged folks in that town.

There is something about the shape of a pigeon that is so pleasing. I think you captured them very nicely.

I would have to agree with you both. The first photo is so casual. Like he is just strolling down the walkway, heading for his apartment, coming home from work. It has a human-like appearance. I LOVE IT!!
