Plucked from the #photography archives. #iamscaredoftrees
Spotted this bit of overgrowth taking a roundabout way to visit @pauline one day.
It took a few passes under different weather conditions over 1-2 months before I was able to capture what I wanted in-camera.
I fantasize about going back and exposing some 4x5 sheets, but I’d need to set up in the middle of the road, right after a tight turn. Photographers die for dumb like that.
I think this one would be fun to print very large.
Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
@semidetached Thank you!! I only capture a handful of photographs in a year that really sing to me. This was definitely one of them!
