I just can't help it - here is another shot involving waders!
We may be able to record the sky in its many moods, but birds leave us in the shade when it comes to that most sky-full of activities flight.
This mixed flock of wader caught my eye a while ago - and I thought I see what it looks like in Black and White (what a silly name - but it does sound better than Shades of Grey!)
You can find more sky shots at SkyWatch Friday.
Enjoy the skies.
Its a wonderful sight when birds take flight all at the same time and darken the skies with their silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot in black and white, Stewart.
A great sight indeed and a terrific capture! Have a great weekend, Stewart!
ReplyDeletecool shot in b&w. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Wonderful to capture them in a flock as they take off.
ReplyDeleteBeing so used to the magic of easily available colour, we forget the artistry that B&W offers.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, it gives a great deal of extra depth.
Sheer photographic poetry.
I envy you your sky. :)
ReplyDeleteBut I did see the first pair of Common Goldeneye today. :)
Wow - fabulous shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! The b&w let's me focus on the bird action without getting distracted by color. Love it!
ReplyDeleteNice shot Stewart! I really like the black & white!
ReplyDeleteExellent shot Stewart!Great B/W!Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteDimi..
a great 'action' shot Stewart, against the grey sky
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, and even better in B&W!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of sky, filled with birds. Great capture, Stewart! I hope you are surviving the heatwave there. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this in the black and white!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of these days I will be able to get a shot like this. In the meantime I will just have to look at yours and others and be envious. Great shot. genie
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific flight shot Stewart, and I really like it in B&W,
ReplyDeleteLove this capture! Actually it is shades of grey, isn't it:)
ReplyDeleteFlock flying is just festive!
ReplyDeleteJust love this picture. Findlay told me to have a look and I am so glad I did.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great shot! This is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA frame full of feathered friends. I tend to ignore b&w on my camera, maybe I should get out of my comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, Stewart! I'm a big fan of B&W and this is really nice!
ReplyDeleteNice shot, and in my opinion the black and white adds an element of mystery that makes it "wall worthy."
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot! I love the photographs on this blog.
