Synchronize Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Birds, is doing what most people do, cleaning up. I saw these bird after a long day trying to fix/clean their feather. the photo was taken in a roof of a famous restaurant in Makati during the time we were attending a birthday party, I suddenly notice that there is a lot of bird in the roof that doing something, there is about 10 birds but since I don't have a wide angle lens I only capture 3 of them, I happen to get these 3 in the same manner as they clean thier wings

Good colors....the brick roof are soft making the bird look fragile. The car is unnecessary so IMHO, it is better if it is cropped out.

Just 3 is good enough Verge. We have a saying in photography. Too much of a good thing is not good. Here, you might like to brighten it up a bit and see whether you could clone off the wheel.

This picture has a lot of potential. The tiles and the birds. unfortunately the background is distracting and the right side is blurred with the rest of the roof. Good eye though.

Hi Verge,
Good POV here on the roof patterns. I like the soft color tone of brown and red in this image. I tend to agree with cropping the vehicle from above. Well seen!

From your notes you mentioned there are about ten birds doing the same thing. Am just thinking of maybe taking those shots as well and possibly just stitch images together. But i understand some challenge there :)

Hey Vergel,

sorry im late, i saw this fabulous photo on the day you uploaded it but fogot to write about it. But, this is a wonderful pic indeed. They are looking some lazy, some sick or cold. But with the texture of the roof it looks real nice. I wish u could wait 2 sec more to take it to let the car pass by..:)

good anyway..

Très spécial encore une fois comme prise, simple et interessant, la succession des tuiles donne un effet de relief et de répétition.
Bien vu.
Best regards
Daniel.

Wery nice photo, indeed. I must agree with previous praises. As well with some of the critique and suggestions. I agree with others about the car better being left out. I love the color of the rooftiles! It goes so well together with the color of birds.
I'm glad you didn't stitch different photos of all the birds together, to get all 10 of them on the photo, as rage_tm suggests. 3 birds are totally enough to produce a good photograph. Proven tight here. After all, it's not a competition how many birds you can get into one photo (and such a manipulation would have been against TrekEarth rules, as a matter of fact). Thanks!
