TPF Noob!
why is it that the sight of a pigeon in new york city stirs such feelings of disgust?
the "flying rats" are treated as pests, but am i alon one who finds beauty in them? their luminescent colors, though not represented by the pictures that follow, glint in the sunshine like gems, and their flight patters amaze me.
the way they move when stirred and settle again, all too elegent for a "rat with wings."
on a recent trip into NYC, i encoutered in a back alley of chelsea a particular flock of pigeons which i immediatly sent my girlfriend running into. hat follows is the best two images captured from that experience, shot in daylight with 400 speed tri-x
