Playing with Pigeons

D1x, Vivtar 28mm, f8, 1/500th sec, ISO 125, sb600 1/2 power

I got a new Vivtar 28mm lens Friday, and really wanted to have something to post today taken with the new lens. Sadly I drank most of the weekend away (alright, all weekend), and only got to shoot Friday morning.

I went down to the gazebo in Old Town Eureka and set my camera at a 20 second delay. I set the focus to infinity, put the camera on the ground, and hit the shutter. As soon as I did I would step back and throw bird seed in front of the camera. The result was chaotic shots of pigeons flying and fighting for food. Most of them were too chaotic to really look like anything, but this one worked out.
