Pimp Your Photography... Again

[ferretchucker]

Nice pictures of the old house. Is that just a random one or does it have some kind of relevance to you?

The black and white ones are good too, although it never ceases to amuse me that people spent years optimizing colour photography and now all we seem to do is take pictures in black and white. Sometimes it does look arty, like the above, but I wish these people on myspace would take a real photo of themselves instead of using every and any effect they can thing of.

I pass the house every day leaving town and sometimes I venture into the yard out of boredom. Other than that, nope.

Almost immediately a bit of Creedance Clearwater Revival started rolling around my head

Went to a falconry centre the other day, got to fly and hold some pretty amazing birds of prey.


Common Buzzard


American Red-Tailed Buzzard


Kestrel

Harris Hawk


Bateleur Eagle



White Tailed Sea Eagle

We werent allowed to fly this one as its so heavy and very rare in the UK, but just holding it was impressive enough!

How did you go about this? Did they have large rubber wings you could put on or did they throw you out of an aeroplane and make you flap.

It was pretty intimidating when it turned to face me, despite the fact it was hooded. It was in a relaxed mood though, the shot with its wings out its actually basking in the sun as it felt my arm was a stable perch! I was made up with that!
