for the birds.

I have decided to take some photographs of birds - since they make my heart sing. we went to Seurasaari yesterday early morning: we placed some breadcrumbs and waited for the birds to come. the light in the forest was poor and the birds were moving fast - it wasn't easy to focus manually. later on we went to my studio and spent the afternoon in the darkroom - I have succeeded in taking a few nice birds shots: hope you'll enjoy them.
from a delta 3200 ilford 35mm roll:
✻ a kuusitiainen was the first to come to our banquet of breadcrumbs.
✻ a sinitiainen came shortly after.
✻ a talitiainen came along too.
✻ the sinitiainen called many more of his friends to the banquet: they are the bravest between small birds.
Seurasaari is a great place to feed birds - I really miss doing it on my window like last autumn: unfortunately feeding birds in the city centre is forbidden.

  4. I am truly glad you like them :-) it wasn't easy to take them and it was also quite hard to print them: each of these needed a different exposure time and filter. it was quite challenging ;-)
