CAPTIVATED

[FUJI]

A photographer pal and I enjoyed just our second …Street…..outing for almost two years…. This time it was Coventry City Centre, a City of Culture, currently.

This is my favourite shot, of the day , I observed my subject for a while, his interaction with a whole flock of very persistent feral pigeons was intense, he was captivated by them; in a world of his own.

The sun was exceptionally bright, I like wide open shots in preference to being darker…so my focus has to be spot on my chosen area…..

We enjoyed a great day, plus a fabulous lunch in an `Argentinian themed restaurant……

I was shattered and sunburnt by the late afternoon though.

Wonderful.

The pigeons look totally disinterested in either the boy or you.

[Fogey]

A nice candid shot, Fuji.  Well done that man.

[FUJI]

Thank you Fogey……… ..it took about six tries to get it right…

 

James ……The three pigeons were part of a significant flock that were surrounding the fascinated boy, and passer’s by…. ..the main flock had just been walked through by a family pushing a child buggy, so had parted like the tide, seconds later they were back…..these three are keeping an eye on the action, or avoiding being trodden on, so they’ve hopped up onto the plinth….
