I had seen a tiny bit of the work at the National Gallery again, and I ran out of time, the place was closing, I had to step back out into the sun. There was a curious bird, trying to make contact with a newspaper reading woman on a bench. She ignored him and was perhaps a bit upset that I seemingly was taking pictures of her. But it was about the bird. Really. And the bird seemed to like being photographed. It even eventually sat on the edge of a podium and sang a song very much synchronized to the sound of the traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue. I was so busy making sure the recording works, I did not even notice when the bird left...
in the first photo it looks a lot like a mockingbird. they know many pretty songs. :)
I also think it might have been one.
: ) so nice.
My camera settings were all "wrong" but I am glad they were. The images are overexposed, showing the bird much more clearly. : )
I'm so happy you recorded both its voice and its image. The bird looks heavenly in the over-exposed photos... really nice!
oh, i was actually happy as well that the pictures are over-exposed... this turned the focus onto the bird, and not on the giant building in the background..
: )
Great shots Witold! The first one is frameable in my humble opinion!
