Bird Crap

[charlie76]

Here's something I took a couple days ago...note the bird crap in the lower-right side...? Thought about cloning it out...but hey. I kinda wish it wasn't there, but it was there before I was.

The wood is good. Nice photo.

The bird crap has to go. With the exception of guano-covered sea rocks shot from a distance, I have never seen crap in a photo that didn't look, well, horrible.

Excellent.... If you had collected all those woods you had photographed, what a great wooden castle you could have made of them ,,,, and i could have concluded>> ,,,"and Charlie lived there happy ever after ......"
...and that bird also wanted some indelible marks that would go down in history.......

Charlie, some of these wood photos of yours are really good -- nice work!

Now I got to tell you a story. I'm in grad school some 30 odd years ago studying photo. I'm looking at all these fabulous B&W images from the west coast Ed Weston groupies. Stuff like this: http://www.artvalue.com/image.aspx?PHOTO_ID=2462467

So I finally get my chance -- a trip to Big Sur and I've got my view camera! Being Midwest born and bred what do I know about the ocean? I arrive at Photography's most holy of holy places Point Lobos and head for the beach. There I see another photographer with his tripod set up and a Sinar view camera pointed down at the rocks. Is he famous?!! I'm so excited! He's on his hands and knees at the water's edge. As I get closer I see that he has a scrub brush in his hand and he is in fact scrubbing seagull sh*t off the rocks. Harsh reality slaps me in the face and I stop and look up and down the beach. There isn't a square foot that's not covered in bird crap. I'm standing in bird crap. Yep, the romantic dreams of youth are often crapped on by reality.
