Sometimes when I’m birdwatching

Reposted from https://lies.tumblr.com/post/652438699890589696.

Tags: birds, sometimes when I’m birdwatching, things that aren’t birds, bad bird photo impressionism, dunl, and one thing that is, the large majority of my bird photos are like this, ID shot of a distant bird, lost in its landscape, dead center in the frame, because that’s where the smallest possible focus spot is, in my normal setup, I crop them to within an inch of their lives, mercilessly, down to the point that the sensor noise is plainly visible, grain for days, but for you, long-suffering tag reader, I give you here the actual shot, as it appeared on the day, the wee dunlin part of the landscape, of the quiet whole, not hemmed in by my identification impulse, jailed by my obsessive need, to label.

Tags: well, sometimes when I’m birdwatching, bad bird photo impressionism, things that ARE birds, california condor, I drove all day, i birdwatched a lot, spent the night in the back of the pilot and drove some more, and went to the bitter creek nwr for the first time in my life, specifically to look for these wonderful birbs, and like it often is, my first time birding anywhere I have no idea what I'm doing, and wandered around, you wouldn't think a condor would be hard to find, but bitter creek is so big, you can actually lose them in it, and just as I'd decided to give up and drive home, there they were, three little spots on the hillside, and then two of them took flight, this is one of those.
